Statistics of Radio Refractivity Derived from Prague Radiosounding Data
Vertical gradient of radio refractivity in the lowest 100 m isderived from the meteorological radio-sounding data of the Prague-Libusstation. The data cover the measurements at the terms 00, 06, 12, and18UTC, and the extent of data is 20 years. Diurnal, monthly, and annualdistributions are presented...

| Summary: | Vertical gradient of radio refractivity in the lowest 100 m isderived from the meteorological radio-sounding data of the Prague-Libusstation. The data cover the measurements at the terms 00, 06, 12, and18UTC, and the extent of data is 20 years. Diurnal, monthly, and annualdistributions are presented and the relative role of the dry and wetcomponents of the refractivity gradient is discussed. The b0 values,expressing the percentage of the time with the refractivity gradientbelow -100 km-1, are presented. This work should enable the effectiveradio-relay link design with respect to the radiowave bending. |
