modified index of refraction [′mäd·ə‚fīd ′in‚deks əv ri′frak·shən]

(meteorology)

An atmospheric index of refraction mathematically modified so that when its gradient is applied to energy propagation over a hypothetical flat earth, it is substantially equivalent to propagation over the true curved earth with the actual index of refraction. Also known as modified refractive index; refractive modulus.
