Bibliography of Tropospheric Radio Wave Scattering


Book Description

This bibliography emphasizes tropospheric scattering of radio waves by turbulence-induced inhomogeneities of the dielectric constant (local wave velocity in the atmosphere). Papers on related topics such as turbulence theory and measurements, statistics, instrumentation and some papers on sound scattering are also included. This bibliography covers material up to about January 1960.

Synoptic Radio Meteorology


Book Description

A survey of some of the advances in the field of synoptic radio meteorology is presented. The development of representative refractive index profiles for major air mass types is reviewed. Included is a description of several refractive index parameters currently in use by radio meteorologists. Two reduced-to-sea-level index forms developed at the National Bureau of Standards are used to illustrate the three-dimensional structure of a broad-scale storm system traversing the North American continent.







Bibliography on Direction Finding and Related Ionospheric Propagation Topics, 1955-1961


Book Description

This bibliography is an outgrowth of a conference held at the University of California at Los Angeles in June 1960 to discuss the aspects of long-range-high-frequency radio propagation that affect radio location and direction finding, and the related problems of measurement and analysis.
