| Title | WRRCTR No.25 Reflectivity of Electromagnetic Waves at an Air-Water Interface for Pure and Sea Water |
| Creator | Lepley, Larry K. Adams, William M. |
| Subject | Electromagnetic waves. Ocean-atmosphere interaction. Seawater. |
| Description | Compilation of the optical properties of electromagnetic waves incident on pure (chemically pure) or sea water shows an abrupt divergence of behavior for the two water types at about the 3-centimeter wavelength. From this point on to all longer (radio) wavelengths, sea water behaves optically like a metal, whereas pure water behaves like a semiconductor. At shorter wavelengths (below 3 centimeters), both fresh and pure water behave as dielectrics with similar optical properties. Only at...
