Summary | This project intends to make in-depth analyses of field observations made from past field projects related to ducting conditions in the marine atmospheric boundary layer. We also intend to involve environmental models and propagation models to evaluate the model performance and to understand the impact of the observed or modeled environmental refractive profiles on RF propagations in the marine atmosphere. Relevant datasets include those obtained from the Coupled Air-sea Processes and EM ducting Research (CASPER) project including observations made from CASPER Pilot, CASPER-East, and CASPER-West. The models to be involved include NAVSLaM evaporation duct model and the VTRPE propagation model. The overall objective of the project is to improve our capability in predicting the atmospheric refractive conditions by improving our modeling physics. |
