The different methods of presenting radio refractive‐index data currently in use are compared. It is concluded that a tabulation using the Smith and Weintraub constants for N as a function of total pressure, temperature, and dew‐point temperature best serves the needs of radiometeorologists. A tabulation using these parameters comprising 49 tables for N is described.
