| Abstract | The motion phases of waves and sea swell that contribute to C and K-band reflection of radar waves were investigated in a wind tunnel designed to simulate air-sea interactions. Results at vertical incidence for various swells, water waves, winds, and combinations of wind and swell are presented. A very important contribution of wave breaking to radar backscattering strength is noted. |
