ABSTRACT

The statistical model for describing the refractive index of the troposphere based on nested semi-Markov processes is proposed. The possibility of describing the statistics of the refractive index in season by locally Gaussian model is shown. First considered the use of atomic functions (AF) to describe the statistics of the refractive index, a new approach for testing hypotheses about the form of the random variable, based on the use of inverse functions is proposed.
