Abstract

An attempt has been made to study the pattern of radio refractivity of air over Gauhati from the surface to the 700.mb level. It is noticed that the variations in the surface values of refractivity do not reflect and are not correlated with the changes in the, ertioal profile of refractivity. Fluctuations in refractivity are not always the highest at the surface, stoadily decreasing upwards. Ideas about models of refractivity derived from studies in the temperate countries need to be modified before they can find application in tropical countries like India. The occurrence of super-refraction and S11b.refraction in the layers near the ground over Gauhati has been studied and the frequency distributions of the values of vertical gradients of refractivity have been worked out.
