Study of small variations of troposphere parameters by the radioacoustic sounding method

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

We consider a method based on the study of signal amplitude and phase variations in the radioacoustic sounding (RAS) of the atmosphere for the diagnostics of dynamical and wave processes in the troposphere. We give experimental data on phase variations of the RAS signal from scan to scan in daytime and nighttime sessions. Variations of the signal phase with characteristic time greater than 40 min are likely due to the passage of internal gravity waves (IGW) through the sounding region. The experimental data are in good agreement with the results of computer simulation of IGW propagation.
