The long wavelength reflection coefficients for a day and night horizontally stratified model ionosphere are calculated by integrating the governing differential equations. The wave fields inside the ionosphere and the group height are also illustrated. This is useful when the measured reflection or conversion coefficients show unexpected features and a detailed examination of these wave fields may lead to a physical insight of the origin of such features. The compute time is 200 horizontally stratified slabs per second on a CDC 6600. (Author).

This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This easy-to-read book introduces the basics of solving partial differential equations by means of finite difference methods. Unlike many of the traditional academic works on the topic, this book was written for practitioners. Accordingly, it especially addresses: the construction of finite difference schemes, formulation and implementation of algorithms, verification of implementations, analyses of physical behavior as implied by the numerical solutions, and how to apply the methods and software to solve problems in the fields of physics and biology.

Provides scientists and engineers with a tool for accurate assessment of diffraction and ducting on radio and radar systems. The author gives the mathematical background to parabolic equations modeling and describes simple parabolic equation algorithms before progressing to more advanced topics such as domain truncation, the treatment of impedance boundaries, and the implementation of very fast hybrid methods combining ray-tracing and parabolic equation techniques. The last three chapters are devoted to scattering problems, with application to propagation in urban environments and to radar-cross- section computation.
