Electro-Magnetic Radiation Scatter and Refraction in the Troposphere

Due: May 1, 2025

$108,245

Description

The diagnosis, exploitation, and prediction of electro-magnetic (EM) radiation scatter and refraction in the troposphere impact the success of US Navy and Marine Corps missions that utilize tactical radars and weather radars, which both operate at wavelengths ranging from centimeters to millimeters. For tactical radar systems, the probability of detection as a function of range (including over-the-horizon) of point targets depends on the geometric scattering properties of the target, forward Bragg Scatter from turbulence-induced...

Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
