ABSTRACT: The marine atmospheric boundary layer influences the evolution of evaporation duct height (EDH) by altering the vertical profile of the refractive index. The EDH is a crucial parameter for marine and naval communication. Many studies have demonstrated the sensitivity of boundary layer similarity theory in estimating the vertical profile of refractive index. The current study modifies …
