  • 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 bands L to Ku , the incidence angular range 20\\deg -65\\deg , the azimuth angular range 0\\deg -180\\deg from 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.
