Abstract :
The amplitude probability and pulse rate distributions of noise envelope have been made the basis of a study of some structural aspects of atmospheric radio noise in a tropical area. The lognormal character of radio noise in the tropics has also been investigated. Direct comparisons are made with results obtained in temperate latitudes. The differences in the structural characteristics of noise have been related to intense local thunderstorm activity on tropical land masses.
