Back Atmospheric Effects on Radio Frequency Propagation

Summary This is a proposal to teach a remote short course on the topic of atmospheric effects on electromagnetic propagation. After completion of the course, the student will be able to use information about the sun and ionosphere to predict how and why HF transmissions vary with time of day, latitude and season. The student will also be able to predict how local atmospheric conditions influence VHF, UHF, and SHF electromagnetic propagation, including radar target detection and radio communications.
