Refractive Effects Guidebook (REG)

Abstract

The Refractive Effects Guidebook (REG) is designed to provide the Fleet with an initial capability to tactically exploit large scale atmospheric refractive conditions. Using routine weather information available to Fleet units, the REG presents guidelines for planning the employment of radar, sensor and communications systems according to existing and predicted refractive conditions that frequently cause unusual performance (termed anomalous propagation).
