Abstract :
So far, sea surface scattering polarization sensitivity is still difficult to fully understand. To gain understanding, full polarization C-band data spectral analysis is considered and the de-polarization (HV) and polarization ratio (PR) are jointly analysed with in-situ wind and wave observations.
