Experimental study of long-range centimeter and decimeter wave propagation caused by mountain snow cover
Abstract
Snow-covered mountain ridges and crests may cause long-distance microwave propagation due to wave reflection in snow layers. High signal levels at distances up to 700 km, considerably exceeding levels of tropospheric and diffraction fields, can be observed. Some theoretical and experimental results are presented on snow-assisted microwave propagation. It is noted that this phenomenon must be taken into account in solving certain EMC problems.
