Abstract
The earlier theories of optical measurement of atmospheric refractive index gradient are modified in such a way as to remove certain assumptions which seemed to be neither well justified nor necessary. Further, two simple methods for the measurement of this quantity, which are especially suitable for large and small gradients respectively, are proposed.
