Alternative term: Standard M gradient

That uniform variation of refractive modulus with height above the earth's surface which is regarded as a standard for comparison. The gradient considered as normal has a value of 0.12 M units per metre (3.6 M units per hundred feet).

Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
