Abstract
This paper describes the influence of oil pollution over sea surfaces on the height spectrum of the rough surfaces. An oil slick damps the capillarity waves of the surface height spectrum, and reduces the RMS slope of the surface. These modified functions have then an influence on the radar cross section from contaminated sea surfaces. The impact of the contaminated sea surface on the bistatic radar cross section is then presented.
