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.”
