Abstract
The influence of the sea’s surface slopes caused by wind waves whose wavelength exceeds that of the Bragg components on the backscattering of acoustic radiation is discussed. The analysis is performed for long waves whose wavelengths are greater than 1.5 m. The study is based on the data of full-scale measurements of the sea’s surface slopes. Expressions relating the backscattering coefficient to the statistical characteristics of the sea’s surface slopes caused by long waves are presented.
