Persistent layers of enhanced C²_N in the lower stratosphere from VHF radar observations

Seasonal climatologies of persistent layers of enhanced refractive index structure parameter C2N were developed for the lower stratosphere from VHF radar observations at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, for the period January 1991 to September 1996. Knowledge of the nature of enhanced refractivity layers is of high interest to the atmospheric sciences, propagation, and remote sensing communi...
