Abstract
A semi-empirical sea-spectrum model is proposed to be used in a two-scale radar sea scatter model to obtain estimates of radar backscatter over the frequency bandsLtoKu, the incidence angular range20\deg-65\deg, the azimuth angular range0\deg-180\degfrom the wind direction and wind speed range 3.5-30 m/s at 19.5 m above the mean sea level. It is shown that the theoretical estimates obtained are consistent with the existing measurements.Keywords
