[0002] In modern marine activities, the atmospheric duct phenomenon has a significant impact on the propagation of electromagnetic waves. The propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves in the atmosphere are closely related to the existence of atmospheric ducts. When atmospheric ducts appear in the atmosphere, electromagnetic waves may be captured in the atmosphere at a specific altitude and propagate in a special way, which has an important impact on radar detection, communication and other operations at sea.

For example, although shore-based detection systems can perform atmospheric duct detection, they are limited by their fixed geographical location and are difficult to conduct comprehensive and flexible monitoring of large sea areas.

[0043] The unmanned boat is equipped with a lightning protection device to effectively prevent damage to the unmanned boat by lightning.

[0044] The unmanned boat is equipped with wireless communication equipment for establishing wireless communication connection with the shore.

[0045] The unmanned boat is equipped with temperature sensors, humidity sensors, air pressure sensors, wind speed and wind direction sensors, sea surface temperature sensors and data acquisition modules. Specifically, the temperature sensor is used to measure the atmospheric temperature at the location of the unmanned boat, with a measurement range of -40℃-50℃ and a measurement accuracy of ±0.2℃; the humidity sensor is used to measure the atmospheric humidity at the location of the unmanned boat, with a measurement range of 0-100%RH, an accuracy of ±1%RH and a resolution of 0.1%; the air pressure sensor is used to measure the atmospheric pressure at the location of the unmanned boat, with a range of 600-1100hPa, an accuracy of ±0.20hPa and a resolution of 0.1hPa; the wind speed and wind direction sensor is used to measure the atmospheric pressure at the location of the unmanned boat, with a measurement range of 600-1100hPa, an accuracy of ±0.20hPa and a resolution of 0.1hPa.

[0046] The unmanned boat is equipped with a power module to provide stable power to the above-mentioned devices, wireless communication equipment, sensors and data acquisition modules.

[0047] A data control and analysis center is set up offshore, and the data control and analysis center includes a data pre-processing unit and a data analysis processing unit.

[0048] The unmanned boat establishes a wireless communication connection with the data control and analysis center on the shore through wireless communication equipment, specifically, establishing satellite communication or 4G / 5G communication.

[0049] Based on wireless communication technology, the data collected by the data acquisition module is transmitted to the data preprocessing unit, which performs preprocessing operations such as data cleaning, screening, and interpolation on the received data before storing it. The data analysis and processing unit analyzes the stored data. Specifically, the atmospheric waveguide is calculated based on the NPS prediction model. The analysis process is as follows:

[0050] The atmospheric duct can be obtained by correcting the curve of atmospheric refraction profile changing with height, that is, the height corresponding to the minimum atmospheric refractive index M is the atmospheric duct height d, as shown in Figure 2 shown.

[0051] According to Debye theory, the corrected atmospheric refractive index M can be determined by the following relationship:

[0052]

[0053] M=N+0.157z (2)

[0054] Where: N is the atmospheric refractive index, which can be expressed as a function of atmospheric temperature T (K), atmospheric pressure P (hPa) and water vapor pressure e (hPa), and z is the height above the ground (m).

[0055] The NPS evaporation duct model was released by the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School in 2000. The model uses air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, pressure and sea surface temperature at a certain height above the sea surface as inputs, and calculates the evaporation duct height based on the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory. The main difference between it and other evaporation duct models is that the NPS model first obtains the profiles of temperature, humidity and air pressure, and then calculates the atmospheric refractive index profile of the evaporation duct based on the relationship between the atmospheric refractive index and the temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure, and then determines the duct height using the position of the minimum value of the corrected refractive index.

[0056] In the NPS prediction model, the vertical profiles of temperature T and specific humidity q in the near-surface layer can be described by the following equations:

[0057]

[0058] Where: T(z) and q(z) are the temperature and relative humidity of the air at height z, respectively. 0 ,q 0 are sea surface temperature and specific humidity, θ * ,q * are the characteristic scales of potential temperature θ and specific humidity q, κ is the Karman constant, Z 0c is the temperature roughness height, ψ h , Γ d are the temperature universal function and the dry adiabatic lapse rate respectively, and L is the similarity length.

[0059] The size parameters and roughness parameters of the sea surface are calculated using the Coare 3.0 algorithm, and the wind speed and temperature under stable conditions use a stability correction function, which is expressed as follows:

[0060]

[0061] In the NPS prediction model, the pressure profile can be expressed as follows by combining the fluid statics equation and the ideal gas law:

[0062]

[0063] Where: p(z 1 )、p(z 2 ) are the measured height z 1 and z 2 The air pressure at T M is the height z 1 and z2 The average virtual temperature at .

[0064] The water vapor pressure profile can be determined from the relationship between specific humidity and water vapor pressure. The expression is as follows:

[0065]

[0066] The modified atmospheric refractive index M can be obtained by combining equations (1)-(7). The height corresponding to the minimum value is the atmospheric duct.

[0067] Through the above analysis process, data visualization tools are used to display the results and generate intuitive analysis reports such as charts and maps.

[0068] To sum up, the atmospheric waveguide detection system based on the unmanned boat described in the embodiment of the present invention has the advantages of high flexibility, relatively low cost, and the ability to autonomously navigate and operate in complex sea environments. The atmospheric waveguide detection technology is combined with the unmanned boat to achieve more efficient, comprehensive and accurate detection of ocean atmospheric waveguides, provide more accurate data support and technical guarantees for marine operations such as radar over-the-horizon detection and long-distance communications, and improve the safety and efficiency of marine activities.
