Scientific paper

Theoretical calculations are presented on refractive index variations in the case of height-dependent superrefraction of radio waves in giant-planet atmospheres; the analysis is conducted on the basis of atmospheric models that allow for microwave and infrared emission. The height dependence of atmospheric refraction is obtained for neutral parts of giant-planet atmospheres. Values of planetary refraction close to critical height are calculated for Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune.
