ATMOSPHERIC TRANSMISSION HANDBOOK:A SURVEY OF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE TRANSMISSION IN THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE OVER THE FREQUENCY (WAVELENGTH) RANGE 3kHz (100km) 3,000 THz(O.lμm)

摘要

This handbook presents material on electromagnetic wave transmission in the earth's atmosphere with emphasis on earth-to-space paths up to January 1970. This type of information is needed in such varied fields as air pollution, astronomy, communications, earth resources, geodesy, meteorology, and navigation.nPart I presents basic background information dealing with transmission fundamentals, the properties of electromagnetic waves, the electromagnetic spectrum, and the earth's atmosphere.
