Atmospheric Refractivity

Atmospheric Refractivity is a dimensionless physical parameter that quantifies the extent to which the Earth's troposphere bends electromagnetic waves due to spatial variations in temperature, pressure, and water vapor content, thereby influencing tropospheric propagation conditions.
