Existing models for the short-wave spectrum of the sea surface are not consistent with microwave satellite data when multi-bands and multi-incidence data sets are considered. We devise a simple parametric model for the short-wave omnidirectional spectrum of the sea surface on the basis of a three-band (C, Ku, and Ka) and multi-incidence (low, moderate, and large) data set and an improved analytical scattering model, namely the non-Gaussian Weighted Curvature Approximation. This spectrum is also constrained by several optical measurements which provide a priori conditions on the total and filtered mean-square slopes. It is compared with classical models such as Elfouhaily and Kudryavtsev unified curvature spectra. Significant differences are observed at... |
