The height of the evaporation duct (EDH) is often used to determine if ship-board radars and communications systems will be adversely affected by the environment. EDHs typically range from 2 to 40 meters and can vary substantially with surface stability, wind speed, and low-level humidity, particularly within 100 km from shore where temporal and spatial variations in the environment are the norm. A study was conducted to measure sea surface and air temperature from a specially instrumented ocean glider during a 30-day deployment off of San Diego, California. Improvements to the surface layer and evaporation duct modeling resulted from assimilation of the glider measurements into a numerical weather prediction (NWP) model. We show the impact of these data on the prediction of electromagnetic energy propagating from a surface radio frequency (RF) sensor.","PeriodicalId":203781,"journal":{"name":"2018 USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"102 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130494675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead of passive noise jamming methods, this honeypot strategy used the multi-carrier modulation to hide the leakage and transmit a pseudo high -speed signal blended with information baits which may lead the eavesdropper uncovered.
