Analytical Formulations for Foam Emissivity Modeling and their Numerical Implementations

Abstract

This report documents the work done on the sea foam emissivity as a part of the work done by an international science team on developing a radiative transfer model of reference quality for the ocean surface emissivity from L band to infrared frequencies. The focus here is on frequencies from 1 to 89 GHz. The theoretical formulation of the foam emissivity is described in details. Two numerical implementations are compared and their differences quantified.
