With the aid of a two‐dimensional integral equation formulation, the ground wave propagation of electromagnetic waves transmitted by a vertical electric dipole over an inhomogeneous flat earth is investigated. For the configuration in which a ground wave is propagating across an “island” on a flat earth, the modulus and argument of the attenuation function have been computed. The results for the two‐dimensional treatment are significantly more accurate in detail than the calculations using a one‐dimensional integral equation.
