Propagation characteristics for varying wind and temperature atmospheric conditions are identified using physically-limiting propagation angles to define shadow boundary regions. These angles are graphically illustrated for various wind and temperature cases using a newly developed ray-tracing propagation code. 1 Aeronautical Engineer, Aeroacoustics Branch, MS 461 NASA LaRC, Member AIAA. 2 Sr. Aeronautical Engineer, Structural Acoustics Branch, MS 463 NASA LaRC.
