Abstract:
Surface wave propagation along multi-mixed-paths with irregular terrain over spherical Earth in two-dimension (2D) is discussed. For the first time in the literature, sea-land-sea (island) transition problem including non-flat (hilly) islands is investigated systematically. A finite element method based multi-mixed path surface wave virtual propagation predictor tool FEMIX is developed for this purpose. FEMIX, tested and calibrated against analytical ray-mode reference models accommodated with the Millington curve fitting approaches, is shown to be capable of modeling propagation along sea surface having multiple hilly islands over MF (300 kHz - 3 MHz) and HF (3 - 30 MHz) bands.
