Abstract

The use of hydrological (surface wind and sea wave slope) dependencies for calculation of microwave characteristics of the ldquoocean-atmosphererdquo system by Kirchhoff method is discussed here. As an important example, we review results of our experiment on bistatic sensing of the sea surface. In this experiment Sun is a powerful natural source of noise microwave radiation for the sea surface sensing. For the receiving of solar radiation in the region of quasi-specular scattering three two-polarization radiometers (0.8, 2.25 and 6.0 cm) were used. The results of joint hydrological and radiometric experiments are reported.
