Reflection of Electromagnetic Radiation from the Ocean Surface.

Abstract

A method for calculating the electromagnetic field scattered from a rough, perfectly conducting surface having two-dimensional variation is presented. The calculation proceeds in two steps: (1) calculation of the current distribution on the surface via integral equation techniques; and (2) calculation of the scattered fields using these currents as sources. Shadowing and multiple scattering effects are included. (Author)
