  • Abstract
    A theoretical calculation provides an estimate of the contribution of atmospheric water vapor to the structure parameter of the index of refraction for microwave frequencies. For altitudes below about 10 km this contribution is generally dominant. The relationship between the structure parameters for temperature and index of refraction is considered for a moist atmosphere.
