Abstract :
The simulation of the tropospheric scatter mechanism by Birkemeier et al. [1], [2] has been extended to include the computation of the instantaneous variation of the average power for 1-h data segments. This average can be interpreted as a measurement of the spatial variation of the refractivity turbulence within an elevated layer of the atmosphere and can serve as a guide to the interpretation of experimental data.
