Abstract :
As the atmospheric conditions, expressed in terms of radio refractivity can considerably influence the performance of radio communication links and radar systems, there is a need for reliable prediction of refractivity structure in the lower atmosphere. The paper is focused on the remote sensing of refractivity structure in the lower atmosphere using Matched Field Processing method. The paper discusses the proper radio link set-up with respect to improving the performance of radio refractivity estimation using remote the sensing technique.
