Who was Alan T. Waterman?
Alan T. Waterman was a professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. His work in meteorology at the California Institute of Technology during World War II led him to research on radar and radio waves. His specialty was the study of how radio waves propagate through the atmosphere and are affected by turbulence and layers. By "bouncing" off the ionospheric layer in the upper atmosphere, for example, line-of-sight radar can see beyond the horizon.
