Abstract :
The results of some preliminary statistical measurements of the envelope of narrow band atmospheric noise are presented for a range of center frequencies from 1 to 100 kc. The variation of level and dynamic range, as a function of frequency, is examined and compared with results expected on the basis of lightning discharge spectra, thunderstorm distribution, and propagation phenomena.
