Abstract
Modeling of electromagnetic propagation in the troposphere has been advanced in the last decade to the point where both the vertical and horizontal variation of refractivity can be accommodated readily. A hybrid ray-optics/parabolic equation model is utilized to predict propagation loss for a range-varying refractive structure to demonstrate the model obeys the Sommerfeld-Pfrang statement of the Lorentz reciprocity theorem
