Download or read book Investigation of Layered Tropospheric Structures Using Forward scatter Techniques written by Uve H. W. Lammers and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A high-resolution forward-scatter system can be effectively used to study the tropospheric refractive-index structure over extended volumes of space. This report is a theoretical analysis of the performance of scan experiments in which the common volume is systematically moved through space by swinging the narrowbeam transmitter and receiver antennas in azimuth and elevation. Experimental evidence points toward a layered composition of the tropospheric refractive index. Various models of single or multiple layers of turbulent refractive-index perturbations, including vertical-layer widths that are a fraction of the common volume lateral dimensions, are used to simulate tropospheric conditions and to compute the spatial response of a narrowbeam forward-scatter system. The rather complex forward-scatter geometry along the great circle path and at a horizontal distance from it is evaluated in enough detail to allow accurate determination of scatter signals. The effect of specular contributions is included to show how a reflection term typically superposes on the scatter signal when the refractive-index field is analyzed. Refractive-index structures are constantly being changed and new ones produced by such parameters as wind and turbulence. Hence, the information obtained from the high-resolution forward-scatter system also relates to these parameters. (Author).

Download or read book A Study of Tropospheric Refractive Index Temperature Humidity and Velocity Fields Using Electromagnetic and Acoustic Wave Propagation Methods Supported by in Situ Measurements written by Anton G. Kjelaas and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paper 1 summarizes the potentials of different electromagnetic and acoustic wave propagation experiments as diagnostic tools in the study of the refractive-index, temperature, humidity and velocity fields in the troposphere. Papers 2 and 3 discuss measurements of horizontal wind velocity using optical line-of-sight propagation techniques. Paper 2 deals with measurements of horizontal divergence while in paper 3 the spectrum of the spatial wind together with the spectrum of air-pressure are used to deduce the propagation speed and direction of progressive gravity waves in the troposphere. Paper 4 deals with the potentials of an array of vertically pointing acoustic echo sounders to study time-dependent structures, especially waves, in the boundary layer. In paper 5 a forward scatter technique (beam-swinging) is used to deduce the vertical spectra of refractive index and air velocity. The influence of atmospheric stability on these spectra is discussed. Paper 6 discusses the spatial structure of refractive index, temperature and humidity in the lowest 2000 m of the troposphere as deduced from tethered balloon measurements.
