Ducting Phenomenon

Summary
The
Ducting Phenomenon
occurs when a
Layer of the atmosphere
causes
Radio Waves
to travel along the
Curvature of the Earth
, extending their
Range beyond the horizon
. This effect is primarily caused by
Variations in temperature
and humidity that create a
Refractive Index Gradient
, allowing the waves to be 'trapped' and
Guided over long distances
.
