Abstract
Reflectivity of rough oil films on sea surface is determined, in geometrical optics domain, from multiple reflections within two plane interfaces as a function of layer thickness and sensor frequency. This permits to predict if an oil slick can be distinguished from sea alone. The behavior of rough oil film is verified by calculating its reflectivity, with a numerical approached method of ray tracing.
