Abstract

In this study, a series of time-varying breaking waves are generated by FLUENT. The backscattering normalised radar cross sections of the time-varying braking wave at different incidence angles are analysed by employing the method of moments. The scattering results can present the high polarisation ratios and sea spikes. In addition, the Doppler spectrums of the breaking waves are calculated for different incidence angles, and the computational results can indicate the large Doppler offsets and relatively big bandwidths for large incidence angles. Generally speaking, the scattering results in this study could play a part in explaining the super-scattering events from the breaking wave on the sea surface.
