Research Abstract

We obtained some data which shows us that high frequency electromagnetic wave may propagate in sea water over hundreds meters. To describe this phenomenon, we prepared some propagation models taking motions of sea water molecules into account. But we did not achieve establishing an optimal model for the explanation. We intend to continue the study by using the tools made.
