Summary	The objective of the marine EM climatic parameters effort is to investigate means to improve parameterizations of marine atmospheric refractive effects on microwave frequencies. These parameterizations need to be representative of marine surface layer effects for predicting the performance of EM systems in both open ocean and coastal environments, and ultimately for assessing the ranges at which targets can be detected in various climatic regimes.
