Abstract: Experimental results of measurements of surface impedance and reception of signal levels on radio paths up to 20 km in length in the coastal Arctic zone near the Tiksi are considered. At each point of determining the field level, surface impedance measurements were made using signals from radio stations operating at frequencies of 25, 320 and 660 kHz. The comparison of the measured and calculated values of the ground-field level and the attenuation function module over the permafrost paths was performed at frequencies of radio stations of the Tiksi airport (320 and 660 kHz). The ground wave field attenuation function was calculated using the integral equation method for multi-sectional impedance paths. The results of the evaluation of the effect of electrical inhomogeneities on the propagation of radio waves showed good agreements with the calculations.

Key words: Earth’s wave field, an attenuation function, surface impedance, water conductivity.
