Inhalt:
The present way for calculation of microwave characteristics of the "ocean-atmosphere" system by Kirchhoff method is discussed here. As an important example, we consider results of our experiment on bi-static sensing of the sea surface. In this experiment Sun is a powerful natural source of noise microwave radiation for the sea surface sensing. The results of joint hydrological and radiometric experiments (wind speed 0 to 15 m/s) are reported.
