Dominant Mechanism of Long-Range Tropospheric VHF Wave Propagation

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

A variant of the physical mechanism of long-range tropospheric VHF wave propagation is discussed, the justification of which is based on the application of the model coherence parameter describing the structure of the electromagnetic field beyond radio horizon formed by wave reflections from quasi-planar boundaries of mesoscale tropospheric inhomogeneities arbitrarily oriented in space.
