An Investigation of Non-Bragg Scattering from the Sea Surface

Abstract

The long-range objective of this work is to develop a detailed characterization of non-Bragg scattering from a wind-roughened water surface, or a breaking wave region, and establish a link between radar observations and physical processes, leading ultimately to a more complete, physically-based model for predicting radar scattering from the sea surface.
