Abstract :
Expressions for the scattering cross sections of anisotropic models of composite random rough surfaces are derived using the full wave approach that accounts for specular point scattering and Bragg scattering in a self-consistent manner. Backscatter cross sections are evaluated for vertically and horizontally polarized waves as a function of angle of incidence for cross wind, up wind, and down wind directions. The cross sections are most sensitive to wind direction for angles of incidence around
