Abstract :
The paper describes the construction of a Birnbaum-type microwave refractometer and its application in studies of refractive-index variations at heights up to 20000ft. Practical problems encountered in airborne measurements are discussed in detail. Some typical results are given which illustrate the performance obtained in measurements of refractive-index profiles and discontinuities.
