Abstract
The next step is to make some allowance for the fact that the reflections from the earth and from the ionosphere are not specular. The case which we are now considering is a little different from that considered in chapter 7 where the rough ionospheric and earth reflections gave rise to the day-to-day wandering of the rays. We are now concerned with the “instantaneous” picture i.e. the actual spread of power at some particular time.
