Measurement of S-, C-, and X-band propagation in the marine atmospheric boundary layer

Radiowave propagation in the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) remains a subject of research interest given the potential utility of the ducting propagation mechanism. Ducting propagation is highly dependent on atmospheric conditions; experiments that combine propagation measurements with detailed atmospheric characterization can offer opportunities for improved modeling of the MABL effects on propagation in the future. Two recent campaigns provided an opportunity to measure propagation in the MABL.
