Which outcome results when a RADAR pulse encounters atmospheric temperature inversion layer?

💡 Explanation

When a RADAR pulse encounters a temperature inversion, radio waves are refracted downwards due to differing air densities associated with varying temperatures in those layers, causing ducting and thus, greater propagation distances. Therefore increased range occurs rather than frequency deviation, absorption, or reflection, which require other atmospheric phenomena.
