摘要
Measurements of electromagnetic backscattering from sea surface at L band have been done with airborne side-looking radar system. Several flights are made for various sea states. Coherent radar data at PM polarization and some truth data such as wave height, wind velocity and direction, temperature of sea water are recorded. Corner reflectors and active calibrator with large radar cross section are deployed on the ground for calibrating the radar system so that the backscattering coefficient can be derived from the radar data and the cinematic data. The results presented in this paper include scattering coefficient and statistical analysis of radar echo with typical probability distribution functions such as Rayleigh, Weibull, Log-normal and K distribution.
