Abstract:An operational method is proposed for calculating the refraction of decameter radio waves in a randomly-inhomogeneous upper atmosphere. The method is based on the numerical-analytical solution of stochastic equations of geometric optics. An integral expression is obtained for the dispersion of the refraction angle of a radio wave on the atmospheric path using the approximation of the perturbation method. For a quick calculation of the statistical moment of the refraction angle, the integral expression is reduc… Show more
