Abstract

Numerical weather prediction (NWP) models have improved much over the recent years and now offer higher spatial and temporal resolution forecasts for direct ingest into electromagnetic (EM) propagation models. However, the spatial resolution of most NWP models is typically larger than the desired spatial resolution required for today's EM propagation models to accurately account for range-dependent atmospheric effects. A means to “bridge” this deficiency in adequately characterizing a range-dependent environment with non-optimum range sampling was addressed by the Naval Research Laboratory, Monterey (NRL-Mry) in 1991, with the development of the Refractivity Structure Matching Algorithm (RSMA) (G.N. Vogel, 1991, Naval Research Laboratory Tech. Note 191).
