Radio meteorology
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008328
The study of how radio waves propagate through the Earth's atmosphere and how atmospheric phenomena affect this propagation. It investigates the effects of temperature, pressure, and water vapor on the refractive index of air, which influences radio signal paths. This field provides the theoretical basis for remote sensing technologies like weather radar and satellite communication systems.
