Superrefraction... causes radio waves to refract downward with a curvature greater than normal. The result is an increased flattening of the effective earth... It can be seen that an "N" gradient of-157 units per kilometer yields a "k" equal to infinity. Under these conditions radio waves are propagated at a fixed height above the earth's surface, creating unusually long propagation distances and the potential for overreach interference with other signals occupying the same frequency allocation. 4, record 1, English, - super%2Drefraction

[La superréfraction] est caractérisée par le fait que la trajectoire des ondes est plus courbée que dans l'atmosphère normale, ce qui augmente la portée au sol ou à altitude moyenne d'un émetteur d'ondes ultra-courtes, l'onde suivant la courbure de la Terre sur une certaine distance ou, pour les valeurs inférieures à -157 unités N/km, revient vers le sol et s'y réfléchit, puis en altitude, et ainsi de suite, comme dans une couche-piège, l'augmentation de portée pouvant alors être importante. 4, record 1, French, - superr%C3%A9fraction
