For practical purposes, it could appear very useful to describe the refractivity profile with an analytical expression. Recently, a new equation, developed for radar applications, was successfully used to approximate the refractivity profiles computed by a physical bulk model. In this paper, we extend the analytical formulation to the optical cases dominated by subrefraction situations. Using a ray tracing algorithm and experimental data related to mirage effects, our paper shows that the physical bulk profiles and the fitted analytical ones give very similar results.","PeriodicalId":203781,"journal":{"name":"2018 USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133396682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
