Refractivity from Clutter and Refractivity Data Fusion

Abstract

The long-term goals of this research are to provide accurate mesoscale analyses and forecasts of microwave refractivity (M), and to quantify the impacts of refractive effects upon Naval communications and weapons systems. Such refractive effects are of particular importance to strike warfare, ship self-defense, special operations, and potentially to directed energy capabilities.
