RADIO RESULTS FOR 1955 GULF OF MEXICO PROPAGATION TESTS.

Abstract

During late spring of 1955 field measurements of the overwater propagation of microwaves at low elevation angles were conducted. These tests were designed to substantiate a phenomenological model for low angle propagation and to determine experimentally the parameters of the model. Measurements were made at 5.3-cm, 3.2-cm, and 8.6-mm wave lengths with various antenna systems to produce various degrees of illumination on the water surface. Meterological and oceanographic data were also obtained for correlation with the radio data. (Author)
