A survey of some of the advances in the field of synoptic radio meteorology is presented. The development of representative refractive index profiles for major air mass types is reviewed. Included is a description of several refractive index parameters currently in use by radio meteorologists. Two reduced-to-sea-level index forms developed at the National Bureau of Standards are used to illustrate the three-dimensional structure of a broad-scale storm system traversing the North American continent.

The anomalous nighttime propagation of radio waves was studied at frequencies of 9100, 2800, and 840 Mc/s observed on the 108-km path from Rochester to Ithaca, New York. Previously proposed theories that explain anomalous propagation by ducting, reflection, or diffraction fail to explain the irregular behavior studied. Further radio measurements in the form of (1) sampling the 9100-Mc/s signal at 15 sites located along the propagation path, (2) heightgain measurements at 9100 Mc/s at the receiver site, and (3) swinging the 2800-Mc/s antennas 2 deg off the great circle path were undertaken in order to arrive at an explanation of the phenomenon. Finally, a theory based on the formation of elevated superrefractive layers situated over two lakes crossing the path is proposed to explain the anomalous propagation. (Author).
