Study of EM Signals Propagation Through Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Abstract
The long term goal of this project is to bring mechanistic understanding of the influence of the atmospheric conditions and sea state on the propagation pattern of EM signals over the ocean. It is generally known that this propagation pattern is a combined result from the refractive structure of the marine atmospheric boundary layer and the scattering properties of the rough ocean surface, although the quantitative role of each and the coupling between the two is incompletely understood. A special focus of this work is to study the wave-driven dynamics of the marine atmospheric boundary layer, pertinent to the layer s refractive structure and transmission properties. Until now little experimental input has been available on the subject.
