Measured signals on two t ropospheri c scatter links have bee n analyzed in t he liO"ht of radio refractivity profiles prepared from radiosonde data. On the shorter link (San DiegoSanta Ana, 85 miles) t he basic transmission loss was found to be approximately a li nea r fun ct ion of f1N, t he change in radio refractivity from the gro und to a height of 1 ki lometer. On the longer (Cape CanaveralNew Providence I sla nd , Baha mas, 300 miles) t he relationship between transmission loss a nd f1N was nonlinear , and better results were obtained by averaging the refractivity gradi ent over 5,000 fee t . Correlation coefficients on t he San DiegoSanta Ana link range from 0.39 in August to 0.84 in February. On the Cape CanaveralN ew Providence link the co rrelation factor is 0.92. The results show the feasibility of forecasting signal-to-noise ratios on over-water t ropospheri c scatter co mmunications syst ems on a daily or hourly basis.

Nature offers numerous examples of irregular stratification of t he medium for the p rop:t gation of radio waves. A study of t he process of reflection in such a mcdium distinguishes between specular reflection and diffuse reflection. The phenomenon of trans-hori zon tropospheric propagation offers an example of t he application of such a process, necessar." for t he interpretation of experimental results. Other examples are those of ionospheric propagation (sporadic-E laycr) and propagation over an irregular ground surfact' (phenom enon of albedo).

Abstract : A tentative classification of possible sources of radio noise in the vicinity of the earth ay be obtai ed by examining separately available sources of power and known mechanism for conversion of this power. Among the former we may list high-energy electrons such as those trapped in the Van Allen belts; the solar wind; bursts of high-energy particles ejected by the sun; shock waves in the interplanetary medium originating on the sun; and the rotational energy of the earth. Mechanisms of conversion may be classified as direct, such as synchrotron and Cerenkov radiation, and indirect. Indirect conversion involves the excitation of an intermediate state by the available sources of power and subsequent radiation by this state. This intermediate sta e may be localized heating, the formation of unstable current patterns, the acceleration of particles, or the generation of waves which are themselves nonradiative, such as plasma oscillations. The following mechanisms which are relevant to the generation of radio noise receive special attention: Cerenkov radiation, two-stream instability, and the coupling of waves by inhomogeneity and nonlinearity.
