Scintillation on non Standard Atmosphere

Abstract

There are several methods to measure the magnitude of scintillation. Most of which their equations do not include meteorological element .In meantime we can not measure the magnitude of scintillation with elevation angle 5°-10° .A prediction method is suggested to measure tropospheric scintillation on earth –space path. This method avoids all the problems in their methods.It would apply this method in Basrah atmosphere in the case of non-standard atmosphere and we studied the effect of meteorological conditions, frequency, antenna diameter, elevation angle and altitude above sea level, on the magnitude of scintillation
