Abstract
Presents results of low grazing angle sea scatter experiments conducted using horizontally polarized, X and S-band radars for relatively calm seas and light winds. Comparisons are shown of the cumulative distributions of normalized radar cross section (NRCS) as a function of grazing angle. Differences at large NRCS suggest that scattering mechanisms in addition to Bragg scatter are more important at X-band than S-band
