In this paper we consider a model that reflects the features of the spatial variation of the refractive properties of the atmosphere through the use of available random data on the actual state of the atmospheric boundary layer. The paper calculated the vertical and horizontal components of the gradient of the refractive index of the atmosphere in the Cartesian coordinate system. For practical calculations it is proposed to use the following orientation: the horizontal axis Ox headed south, the ordinate axis Oy headed east, and the axis Oz applicate send up. Recovery of the refractive index gradient was performed according to the temperature-sensing windshield atmosphere by known methods. Calculations were carried out modulus of the gradient of the refractive index at the surface and in height at the grid points defined by the intersection of the meridian every 5° (15W – 30E) with 50N. The calculations obtained absolute values of the refractive index gradient and its rejection of the axes of the Cartesian coordinate system. It has been established that in all grid nodes, like the earth’s surface, and on the heights, there is a deviation of the refractive index gradient from the respective axes. In solving practical problems, taking into account the refractive properties of the atmosphere, it is necessary to use the information, taking into account the actual state of the atmospheric boundary layer.
