Ground Range and Bearing Error Determination and Display for an OTH radar System with an Arctic Trough Ionosphere

Abstract

This report describes the algorithms used to determine range and bearing errors which might be incurred in an OTH radar system where the propagating medium includes an arctic trough. Several types of plots for displaying this error information are described along with an example.
