Microwave Doppler spectra of sea return at small incidence angles: specular point scattering contribution

It is well known that the sea return echo contains contributions from at least two scattering mechanisms. In addition to the resonant Bragg scattering, the specular point scattering plays an important role as the incidence angle becomes smaller (≤20o). Here, in combination with the Kirchhoff integral equation of scattering field and the stationary phase approximation, analytical expressions for Doppler shift and spectral bandwidth of specular point scattering, which are insensitive to the polarization state, are derived theoretically. For comparison, the simulated results related to the two-scale method (TSM) and the method of moment (MOM) are also presented. It is found that the Doppler shift and the spectral bandwidth given by TSM are insufficient at small incidence angles. However, a comparison between the analytical results and the numerical simulations by MOM in the backscatter configuration shows that our proposed formulas are valid for the specular point scattering case. In this work, the dependences of the predicted results on incidence angle, radar frequency, and wind speed are also discussed. The obtained conclusions seem promising for a better understanding of the Doppler spectra of the specular point scattering fields from time-varying sea surfaces.

Investigation on the Doppler shifts induced by 1-D ocean surface wave displacements by the first order small slope approximation theory: comparison of hydrodynamic models

Based on the first order small slope approximation theory (SSA-I) for oceanic surface electromagnetic scattering,this paper predicts the Doppler shifts induced by wave displacements.Theoretical results from three distinct hydrodynamic models are compared:a linear model,the nonlinear Barrick model,and the nonlinear Creamer model.Meanwhile,the predicted Doppler shifts are also compared with the results associated to the resonant Bragg waves and the so-called long waves in the framework of the two-scale model.The dependences of the predicted Doppler shifts on the incident angle,the radar frequency,and the wind speed are discussed.At large incident angles,the predicted Doppler shifts for the linear and nonlinear Barrick models are found to be insensitive to the wind speed and this phenomenon is not coincident with the experimental data.The conclusions obtained in this paper are promising for better understanding the properties of time dependent radar echoes from oceanic surfaces.     

Doppler Shifts of Backscattering Fields from One Dimensional Linear and Nonlinear Oceanic Surface by SSA-II

Based on the general framework of the second order small slope approximation （SSA-II）, Doppler shifts of backscattered fields from linear and nonlinear hydrodynamic sea surfaces are predicted. Comparisons are performed at incidence angles varying from near-nadir to moderate-grazing for different radar frequencies. The predicted Doppler shifts for nonlinear hydrodynamic model are somewhat larger than the results corresponding to linear surface. Meanwhile, the dependences of the Doppler shifts on the wind speed and radar polarizations are also analyzed, and the comparisons are shown to confirm the sensitivities to the polarization and wind speed. At the same time, the results of the small perturbation method （SPM） and geometrical optics approximation （GO） are also presented for comparisons.     

海面微波散射场多普勒谱特性研究

基于粗糙面电磁散射双尺度模型推导给出了海面微波散射场多普勒谱频移和谱宽的理论公式, 在该理论公式的推导过程中同时考虑了大尺度海浪的倾斜调制、遮蔽效应和曲率修正效应等因素的影响. 文中将理论公式计算结果与精确数值结果进行了比较, 并讨论了倾斜调制、遮蔽效应及曲率修正效应等因素对多普勒频移和谱宽的影响, 发现倾斜调制使水平极化散射回波多普勒频移显著增大, 从而导致水平极化回波多普勒频移比垂直极化回波多普勒频移大; 在中等入射角度区域, 遮蔽效应和曲率修正效应对多普勒谱并无显著影响, 而在掠射条件下, 遮蔽效应使得多普勒频移增大、谱宽变窄. 本研究对深入理解动态海面散射场频谱特性具有一定参考意义.
