Think of yourself as under a sea of water with a flashlight. The surface

you shine a light at an angle towards the surface the light is reflected
back down towards the sea floor in a fashion that is a function of the
occilating waves above you. A person (receiver) looking for the light at
the sea floor may or may not see the light depending if the waves are
relatively calm or are raging in a typhoon. Then there is function of the
clarity (rf conductivity) of the water itself... etc...
