  • Abstract
    The aim of this paper is to estimate the atmospheric refractivity and to analyse its statistical properties. Refractivity estimates are obtained from phase measurements of the radar response to stationary targets. The required data are obtained with the C-Band polarimetric weather Radar of Meteogalicia.
