Abstract

The propagation of microwaves through a non-uniform troposphere with anisotropic random inhomogenities of the refractive index, characterized by horizontal scale lengths of several hundred meters, is shown to be reducible to the problem of wave propagation through a random stratified medium. The effect of this random stratification upon the field in the 'near trans-horizon' region, i.e. 100 to 200 km from the transmitter, is estimated. -from Authors
