The time-space dependent mixture-atmosphere is generated by ionization of the neutral molecules in atmosphere. Reflection will occur when HPM propagates in such mixture-atmosphere. The reflection characteristic of the HPM propagation in the mixture-atmosphere is investigated by FDTD numerical experiments in inhomogeneous medium, the influence on the reflection for different HPM parameters is concluded. An additional stability conditions for the FDTD difference scheme of the HPM mixture-atmosphere propagation model are presented.

When air is breakdown, the density is so high that the atmosphere will be turned into the plasma and non- plasma mixture-atmosphere. HPM propagates in the mix- ture-atmosphere, the reflection will occur, if the reflection is strong, there will have
