Investigation of Parameters Affecting Underwater Communication Channel by Aydin S., Onur T. O.

“…By determining the effects of these parameters on spherical and cylindrical propagation, suitable propagation geometry and parameter values for an efficient channel are investigated. In light of the results obtained, in case of studying in a limited area, the path and absorption losses can be reduced by selecting cylindrical propagation as a geometrical propagation model, thereby an efficient channel model can be formed.…”

Investigation of the state of the electric field of the atmosphere in the area of open pit mining by R. Kh. Zekoreev

“…Aerosol particles acquire a charge in the process of mechanical destruction of rock particles and disruption of contact between them. At the same time, selective charging and capture of light air ions, depending on their size, and macroseparation in the field of gravitational forces occur, on the one hand, the rapid settling of large particles charged negatively on the earth’s surface, and on the other hand, small particles that can be in suspension for days in the atmosphere, charged with a positive sign, which leads to a decrease in air conductivity and, accordingly, an increase in the field strength in the quarry area.…”
