“…Approximately at the same time, experiments on the study of phase fluctuations of centimeter radio waves were performed (Herbstreith and Thompson, 1955;Deam and Fannin, 1955;Norton, 1959). The route length was 18.5 km; it passed at the altitudes of about 2000 to 4500 m above the sea level.…”

Abstract.In the present review, we make an attempt to attract attention to the effect of non-Kolmogorov behavior of turbulence in various scales on the characteristics of electromagnetic waves propagation through a turbulent atmosphere on the example of certain atmospheric experiments. We discuss the interpretation of experimental data based on the model of spectral behavior of a passive scalar field within a broad range of scales, which has been developed recently.

“…The measurements were made on the island of Maui, Hawaii, over a 15.46-mile path extending from the 10,000-ft summit of Haleakala to the airport at Puunene, at an elevation of 100 ft. A major consideration in the selection of this location was that, because of the relatively large variations in radio refractive index to be expected here, these data would form a valuable supplement to similar measurements made earlier over the Pikes Peak Garden of the Gods path in Colorado [Herbstreit and Thompson, 1955].…”

“…The measurement techniques and circuitry employed in this experiment are similar to those described in other reports and hence will not be described in detail here [Herbstreit and Thompson, 1955;Thompson and Vetter, 19581-In general, the radio measurements were recorded on Esterline-Angus charts moving at 3 in. per min with occasional special recording periods (on the order of 10 to 15 min in length) during which the same variables were also recorded on magnetic tape.…”

These include the development and maintenance of the national standards of measurement and the provision of means and methods for making measurements consistent with these standards; the determination of physical constants and properties of materials; the development of methods and instruments for testing materials, devices, and structures; advisory services to government agencies on scientific and technical problems; invention and development of devices to serve special needs of the Government; and the development of standard practices, codes, and specifications. The work includes basic and applied rsearch, development, engineering, instrumentation, testing, evaluation, calibration services, and various consultation and information services. Research projects are also performed for other government agencies when the work relates to and supplements the basic program of the Bureau or when the Bureau's unique competence is required. The scope of activities is suggested by the listing of divisions and sections on the inside of the back cover.

“…Historically, the Radio Propagation Engineering Division of the Boulder Laboratories, National Bureau of Standards, has been conducting an experimental and theoretical study of the general problem since November 1954 [Herbstreit and Thompson, 1955] are observed in actual atmospheric propagation paths that restrict our use of such signals. Accordingly, the Bureau's work in this area has been generally aimed at evaluating and, wherever possible, systematically classifying these atmospheric effects.…”

In recent years various instruments and techniques have been developed for measuring distances electronically. The accuracy of such measurements depends on the accuracy with which time and the velocity of propagation of radio waves can be determined. The National Bureau of Standards, under the sponsorship of the Air Force Ballistic Missile Division, has been studying the effects of atmospheric turbulence on the performance of radio distance‐ and/or velocity‐measuring systems. Many of the data collected in this study are applicable to the problem of determining the accuracy of radio surveying methods, Longterm variations in the apparent length of a 15.5‐mile path in Hawaii are shown, along with the effects of correcting for the atmospheric refractive index observed at 2 to 5 points along the path.
