A 3D electromagnetic visualization system in snow and ice environment

Abstract

With the development of virtual reality technology, the visualization of electromagnetic environment has become a hot research topic. However, the research on the electromagnetic environment of the polar environment is relatively rare. This paper focuses on 3D visualization of electromagnetic environment in snow and ice environment. Geographical environment is created from DEM data, and Longley-Rice model tuned for ice and snow environment is used to predict the electromagnetic propagation in coverage area. Based on the geographical environment and coverage prediction, a visualization system is established, which could provide a basic reference for the electromagnetic visualization in polar areas.
