Abstract
The possibility of determining the refractive index for optical waves in the atmospheric boundary layer from air temperature profiles measured by a MTP-5 meteorological temperature profilometer is studied. Profiles of the refractive index obtained from MTP-5 data and from aerological measurements are compared. Some calculated values of the refractive index and its derivatives for different seasons are presented.
