Parameterization of Near-Surface Refractivity Profiles Over the Ocean and their Effects on IR/Rf Propagation

Abstract

The long-term goal of the Naval Postgraduate School s research effort is to improve parameterizations and operational models that describe atmospheric and surface wave effects on radar and optical sensor/weapons systems, which will ultimately benefit U.S. Navy warfighters in planning and executing operations by improving sensor performance and target detection predictions and sensor optimization for the current environment.
