Abstract

The refractive index structure and bending of radio rays within air masses of nonexponential refractive index height structure is treated in terms of the value expected in an average atmosphere of exponential form. It is demonstrated that refraction differences within air masses arise from departures of refractive index structure from the normal exponential decrease with height. The effect upon radio ray refraction of these departures from the normal exponential refractive index structure is most pronounced for small initial elevation angles of the radio ray.
