Abstract
Theoretical analyses are made to determine expected relative values of average radar cross section for idealized scatterers above the sea. Horizontal, vertical, and circular polarizations are considered along with various sea states and radar depression angles. The results are considered to be useful for providing insight into effects of the sea on the polarization dependence of rain return. Effects of the earth's curvature and atmospheric refraction are neglected.Keywords
