Abstract: Families of amplitude-probability distribution curves are presented in a form such that by using three statistical parameters of atmospheric radio noise, of the type published by the National Bureau of Standards, the corresponding amplitude-probability distribution may be readily chosen. Typical values of these parameters are given.
