Abstract

Abstract: We apply a multilayer perceptron machine learning (ML) regression approach to infer electromagnetic (EM) duct heights within the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) using sparsely sampled EM propagation data obtained within a bistatic context. EM propagation data is simulated using PETOOL, a MATLAB-based software developed by Ozgun et al. 2011 for solving the split-step parabolic equation approximation of Helmholtz wave equation. Three cases in the data folder correspond to different sparse sampling techniques detailed in our paper. Artificial neural networks are implemented utilizing Tensorflow, and its hyperparameters are selected with grid search. Results for model selection and evaluation can be found in their respective folders. The resulting speed of our ML predictions of EM duct heights, using sparse data measurements within MABL, indicates the suitability of the proposed method for real-time applications.
