The transmission of various forms of energy through the atmosphere when the energy is refracted to move along a path other than the line-of-sight path by density discontinuities at one or more levels in the atmosphere. It results from the unusual vertical profiles of temperature and moisture. 2, record 2, English, - anomalous%20propagation
