WATER-WAVE EFFECTS ON RADIO WAVE PROPAGATION IN THE OCEAN

Abstract

A sinusoidal surface profile is used to study by an exact method the effect of water waves on an electromagnetic field propagating downwards from the surface. It is assumed that the magnetic field is directed parallel to the surface corrugations. The results are presented graphically. Comparisons are made between these results and those obtained using an approximate method of Wait.
