Radio Navigationmedium#1170
Over water, a Doppler navigation system may experience:
A
Improved accuracy
B
Complete signal loss
C
No change in accuracy
D
Reduced accuracy due to specular reflection from smooth water surfaces
CorrectExplanation
Smooth water surfaces cause specular (mirror-like) reflection instead of diffuse scattering, reducing return signal strength and degrading Doppler accuracy.
