Abstract :
Radio refractive index (RRI) variation in the troposphere has been subject of sustained interest because of its important role in microwave radio communication. The authors present the results of first Kytoon sounding at a microwave repeater site, Chaprola 30 kms south east of Delhi. A sensor package was used with temperature sensor accuracy of ±0.01°C (both dry & wet bulbs) and pressure ±0.1 mb. A maximum height of 202 m above the surface was attained
