Publisher's Synopsis
This work, starting from a coverage of electromagnetic surface waves, goes on to introduce the unusual properties and useful applications of lateral waves, particularly the case of dipoles on the Earth, and their use in investigations of the upper crust and mantle.;A discussion of the fields in media bounded by two surfaces leads to applications in radiocommunications with submarines and over the Earth's surface and to a generalization to more than two layers.;Throughout the book, mathematical detail is balanced against practical applications material. The book is intended to be suitable for researchers in atmospheric physics, geophysicists and those researching in electrical engineering and mathematical physics.
