Abstract

The phenomenon of super refraction has been investigated in South Arabian Sea over a period of nearly two years from radars located at Cochin. From the observation made, the existence of a super-refracting layer seems to be well established during the premonsoon months from January to April each year. This is supported by the existence of M. Inversion computed from Radio Sound data in the region. Dust heights of 135 feet have been estimated which can trap 1st and 2nd order modes in 3 and 10-cm bands.
