radio duct. ... Conditions necessary for the formation of ducts are strongly increasing temperature and decreasing relative humidity with height. ... Ducts may be surface-based or elevated, with typical thickness ranging from about 10 to 300 m. When elevated ducts occur, they are generally associated with subsidence or frontal inversions. Elevated ducts are rarely found above 5 km. 2, record 1, English, - radio%20duct
