Radio Wave Propagation in the Marine Boudary Layer

Description

WILEY-VCH, 2004. — 193 p. ISBN 3-527-40458-9, This book is about the parabolic approximation to a diffraction problem over a sea surfase. While the parabolic equation method in radio wave propagation over the earths surfase was introduced by V.A. Fok almost fifty years ago, its popuarly has grown recently due to development of advanced computational methods based on the parabolic approximation. Numerios computational techniques have been evolved and used for analysis of radio- and acoustic wave propagation in either deterministic or random media.
