Abstract
The effect of irregularities of the refractive index of a terrestrial layer of the atmosphere on the slope of the polarization plane of an electromagnetic wave is evaluated numerically. An optical range polarimeter is developed having a sensitivity of the order of 1″. The possibility is demonstrated of practical application of the polarization plane as a basis for direct measurement of the relative angular positions (deviations) of a plumb line at scattered points of the earth’s surface.
