Abstract :
Vertical profiles of atmospheric refractivity measured on 150 m mast are fitted with a modified Webster duct model. Time series of duct model parameters are obtained with one minute resolution. Empirical single and joint statistics of duct model parameters are determined from 7 month data. Interrelations between the duct parameters are discussed.
