Abstract:
This is the fourth in a series of bibliographies being prepared by the M & GA staff of the American Meteorological Society for the Boulder Laboratories of the National Bureau of Standards. The first three were:
1. Bibliography on Ionospheric Propagation of Radio Waves (1923–1960). NBS Technical Note No. 84, October 1960. (1404 items)
2. Bibliography on Meteoric Radio Wave Propagation. NBS Technical Note No. 94, May 1961. (368 items)
3. Bibliography on Auroral Radio "Wave Propagation. NBS Technical Note No. 128, January 1962. (297 items)
The present Bibliography on Atmospheric Aspects of Radio Astronomy Including Selected References to Related Fields contains over a thousand abstracts or titles taken from the literature published between 1900 and 1961, incl., but the bulk of the literature follows the discovery by Jansky in 1932 of radiofrequency radiation from the sun, and especially the building of radio telescopes since World War II. The subject matter in this bibliography is confined to the effects of the Earth’s atmosphere on radiofrequency radiation from the sun, planets, stars, the galaxies and intergalactic space, or knowledge of atmospheric or ionospheric structure, composition, or physics.
