Abstract
The character of radio waves propagation when detecting low flying targets over a sea surface essentially depends on the distribution of temperature, pressure, humidity of air and hence on the height distribution of refractive index. Typical height dependences of the modified refractive index Mon height h above the Black sea measured by refractometer are shown in Fig. 1 for July (curve 1) and August (curve 2)
