Chapter 4. Microwave Scattering from the Sea
117 Chapter 4. Microwave Scattering from the SeaDonald R. ThompsonJohns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Maryland IntroductionThere is at present considerable interest in achieving a better understanding of the physicsthat governs the Scattering of Microwave radiation from the sea. This interest is due in large partto the rapid advances in ocean remote sensing using Microwave techniques during the past twodecades or so. These advances were triggered by the extremely rich and varied data setscollected by Microwave sensors on numerous spaceborne satellite missions undertaken duringthis period. The Microwave instrumentation flown on these missions included synthetic apertureradar (SAR), wind scatterometers, and altimeters.
Microwave Scattering from the Sea 119 As seen above for the special case of a smooth flat surface, the incident energy is reflected into the specular direction (or dissipated in the medium).
