Numerical Investigation of Radar Scattering from the Sea Surface at Small Grazing Angles
Abstract
The research project focuses on the understanding of electromagnetic scattering from the ocean surface at small grazing angles. The long-term goal is to investigate the validity of existing distributed-surface, edge-diffraction, multi-path, and shadowing scattering theories when applied to the sea surface at small grazing angles. The short-term objectives are to: (a) numerically characterize the electromagnetic scattering from modeled and measured water surface profiles, (b) to compare the results with existing scattering models, and (c) to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the techniques themselves.
