Evaporation ducts observed during the TAPS 2013 campaign

The Tropical Air-Sea Propagation Study (TAPS) was an experimental campaign that took place in the northern coast of Queensland, Australia between the 25^th of November and 5^th of December 2013. The main objectives of TAPS concern the validation of mesoscale NWP models (including surface layer models) in a tropical littoral environment and also the validation of clear-air propagation models for several radar bands. In tropical waters, evaporation ducting is common and may even be the dominant ducting mechanism.
