effects of atmospheric conditions on electromagnetic propagation

Super - refraction - when N - gradient decreases from - 24 to - 48 N - units per 1000 ft, a super refractive condition exists; vertical distribution of temp, moisture & pressure causes radar waves to bend more toward earth's surface than under normal conditions c. Sub - refraction - occurs when N - units show no change or increase with height. Sub refractive conditions cause radar waves to be refracted upward & away from earth's surface d. Trapping - if super - refractive gradient continues to decrease past critical gradient, radius of curvature for wave becomes smaller than that of earth's. It then becomes trapped between two areas: the earth's surface or upper boundary of another layer. Trapping can significantly extend radar ranges

USS LIBERTY attack

-Six-Day War between Israel and several Arab nations-USS Liberty was ordered to proceed to the eastern Mediterranean to perform an electronic intelligence collection mission. Due to concerns about her safety as she approached her patrol area, several messages were sent to Liberty to increase her allowable closest point of approach (CPA) to Egypt's and Israel's coasts. Unfortunately, due to ineffective message handling and routing, the CPA change messages were not received until after the attack. Isreali Air Force jet fighter aircraft and motor torpedo boats of the Israeli Navy attacked USS Liberty in international waters. Attack killed 34 and injured 170 crew members.

Navigation and some area communications satellites use this orbit Sun - synchronous orbit: Takes advantage of precession of orbital plane caused by earth not being a perfect sphere. If a satellite's orbital period is synchronized w/ rotation of earth, it will pass over same point on earth's surface at same local time, at a regular interval Highly Elliptical Orbit - Highly eccentric elliptical orbit slows down at apogee in Northern Hemisphere & whips through perigee in Southern Hemisphere; provides comms in Northern Hemisphere for nearly 75% of satellite's orbital period; shifted 180 degrees to cover Southern Hemisphere Geosynchronous Orbit - Average altitude of 19,300 nm; will have period of approx one day (meaning satellites remain over same area of earth) Polar Orbit - Used extensively by imagery satellites due to ability to pass over entire surface of earth throughout several days

Characterized by a negative sound speed gradient, making it important in submarine warfare because it can reflect active sonar and other acoustic signals Deep layer - lowest layer in the ocean, at a depth of 1000 fathoms (1800 m) or more. Little or no light penetrates this area of the ocean and most organisms rely on falling organic matter produced in photic zone for subsistence

effects and significance of parameters on transmission of sound in seawater

Temperature - most important; primary controller of sound speed & direction in upper 300 m (1,000 ft) of seawater Pressure - effect on sound speed is a function of depth. Pressure increases with depth and sound speed increases with higher pressure.

This degrades radar performance including ballistic missile warning radar. It can also affect satellites at altitudes to 600 miles Solar Cycle - solar activity is cyclic in nature, following 11 - year cycle called solar cycle. Generally there's a 4 - year rise to a solar maximum followed by a gradual 7 - year decline to solar minimum Van Allen Radiation Belts - The outer & inner Van Allen Radiation Belts are two concentric, donut - shaped regions of stable, trapped charged particles.
