Microwave Scattering Properties from Oil Film Contaminated Sea Surface with Kirchho Approximation

This paper is devoted to investigate the electromagnetic scattering properties from oil film contaminated sea surface with Kirchhoff approximation. In order to study the electromagnetic scattering properties from oil film contaminated sea surface, the oil contaminated sea spectrum is firstly constructed with the Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum and Lombardini’s attenuation coefficient. Then, the influence of oil film on the sea spectrum and the sea surface profile are discussed. Furthermore, a study of the electromagnetic scattering properties from oil film contaminated sea surface with Kirchhoff approximation method is given. The influence of wind speed, oil film parameters on the scattering properties are also presented, and the scattering results are compared with those of the clean sea surface.
