Back Submission of EM/EO-Related Atmospheric Models and Databases to OAML

Fiscal Year 2015
Division Graduate School of Engineering & Applied Science
Department Meteorology
Investigator(s) Frederickson, Paul A.
Sponsor Space & Naval Warfare Systems Command (Navy)
Summary This project will enable more accurate and effective Battlespace on Demand (BonD) Tier 2 and 3 electromagnetic/electro-optical (EM/EO) performance predictions to be provided to the warfighter through the testing and validation of models, algorithms and datasets that more realistically characterize the propagation environment, especially in the atmospheric boundary layer. These stand-alone products will be submitted to the Oceanic and Atmospheric Master Library (OAML) so that they can officially be incorporated into the Advanced Refractive Effects Prediction System (AREPS) in the near term, and will be available for use in future Tactical Decision Aids (TDAs) and EM/EO prediction systems, including the Naval Integrated Tactical Environmental Subsystem, Next Generation (NITES-Next) and the EM Performance Surface (EMPERF) being developed at FNMOC. The products being submitted to OAML are the Electromagnetic Ducting Climatology (EMDC) database and the Vertical Refractivity Profile Blending Algorithm (VRPBA).
