  • Abstract
    Compound models are widely used to describe high resolution radar sea backscatter. In this paper, experimental high resolution sea clutter data is used to assess the validity of the compound Gaussian model for range resolution of centimeters. Results show that the central limit theorem is still applicable to local sea backscatter at very high range resolutions.
