Electromagnetic Surface Currents Induced by a Magnetic Dipole Source on Infinite Perfectly Conducting Surfaces in the Presence of an Air-Ocean Interface

Abstract

The electromagnetic surface currents induced by a magnetic dipole on infinite perfectly conducting surfaces in the presence of a sea-air interface, as well as in a homogeneous ocean environment, are obtained. The method used is that of images where the approximation of a -1 reflection coefficient at the sea-air interface may be justified and used. Computer programs and results which yield a clear insight into the sphere of influence of the magnetic dipole in such an environment when displayed graphically are given.
