Near-Surface Atmosphere and Surface Wave Influences on Rf/EO Propagation over the Sea

Abstract

The long-term goal of the Naval Postgraduate School's research effort as part of the Roughness and Evaporation Duct (RED) Experiment is to obtain a more complete understanding and improve parameterizations of atmospheric and surface wave effects on radio-frequency (Rf) and electro-optical (EO) propagation near the ocean surface, and ultimately to enable Navy warfighters to operationally assess and predict environmental effects on weapons/sensor systems in order to gain a tactical advantage over any adversary through knowledge superiority.
