Abstract :
The estimation of atmospheric refractivity profile from radar sea clutter is called RFC. RFC can really get atmospheric refractivity profile from radar sea clutter. Compared with the traditional numerical prediction models based on meteorological parameters, it has a better performance. This paper introduces basic principle and research state of RFC. Key problems of RFC are also discussed
