EA: EM_PROPAGATION_CONDITION
EE: SUPERSTANDARD

Status: STD 2005/06/07
Code: 4
EA label: EM_PROPAGATION_CONDITION

Concept definition: The propagation of radio energy under conditions of superstandard refraction in the <ATMOSPHERE> of the <EARTH>, that is, an <ATMOSPHERE> or section of the <ATMOSPHERE> in which the refractive index (<<REFRACTION_INDEX_REAL_PART>>) decreases with <<ALTITUDE_MSL>> at a rate of greater than 40 x 10-6 per kilometre. The unit of measure equation is defined by N = (n-1) x 106 where n is the <<REFRACTION_INDEX_REAL_PART>> and is known as an "N-unit".
