The Caribbean Basin: A Refractivity Study

Abstract

A descriptive climatology of atmospheric refractivity in the Caribbean Basin, prepared from USAFETAC'S upper-air climatic database. Climatologies are provided by season and by hour. Actual climatologies (in an appendix) are preceded by a review of refractivity theory, a discussion of the meteorology of anomalous propagation, an explanation of the presentation scheme, and a summary of the climatologies.
