Abstract
EM /EO Data for Navy METOC Support
E&M (RF refraction) and EO (optical propagation) data products are required for future systems. A new level in type and quality of observational data is needed for assimilation into numerical models.
Lidar profiles provide the best source for high quality meteorological profiles and EM/EO data.Model prediction capability is based upon constraints provided by gridded fields of measured parameters.
High resolution data - both time and space - are needed to constrain advanced numerical models as they are applied to mesoscale features -- tens to hundreds of kilometers.“Even if more capable models were available, our ability to supply the data needed to drive them is deficient.”
