The Effects of a Fire on Radio Wave Transmissions.

Abstract

The Naval Research Laboratory Code 6180 investigated the losses of an electromagnetic signal when transmitted through a hydrocarbon pool fire. This report documents an experiment which consisted of eight full scale fire tests at NRL's Chesapeake Bay Division (Chesapeake Bay Fire Test Facility) in Calvert County, Maryland on both December 23, 1996 and again on January 8, 1997. The background research, experimental approach, and presentation of results for this experiment are contained herein.
