Abstract
This paper presents a summary of airborne refractive index measurements which have been made at many locations in the United States both over land and off the east and west coasts, by several organizations. Included are the results of studies of the mean vertical structure of the index of refraction of the atmosphere as a function of such factors as location, season, horizontal distance, and time. Included also are the results of measurements of the fine detail variations of refractive index about its mean value at several locations for altitudes up to 20,000 feet mean sea level.
