Exploration of Refractivity Phenomena through the Surf Zone

Abstract

Exploration of Refractivity Phenomena in the Surf Zone Jennifer G. Michaeli, PhD, PE Director, Naval Engineering and Marine Systems Institute (NEMSI) Wes Lawrence, PhD, PE Associate Professor, Electrical Engineering Technology Department Old Dominion University Norfolk, VA The objective of this 2-year project is investigate the refractivity effects of environmental conditions and physical phenomena affecting signal transmission through the littoral arena, specifically through the very near-shore zone and surf zone. ODU will participate in experiments in Duck, NC and assist Navy researchers in data collection of radio frequency (RF) signals and data pertaining to environmental conditions. ODU researchers will process and analyze the data to support investigations into the extent of impact that environmental conditions have on RF signal propagation through these near shore zones in the marine boundary layer.
