A Comparison of Evaporation Duct Models for IREPS (Integrated Refractive Effects Prediction System).

Abstract

An evaluation of current meteorological measurement techniques to determine adequate description of th surface meteorological processes used to infer evaporation duct height. Includes a comparison of relative performance, sensitivities to meteorological unputs, and ease of computation for several standard evaporation duct height models. EM wave propagation pathloss models are compared and evaluated, and a maximum range of detection error is determined for the modified NOSC propagation model employed by the Integrated Refractive Effects Prediction System (IREPS).
