摘要: This paper studies the influence of wind parameters and fractal dimension from an improved two-dimensional sea fractal surface on the polarimetric scattering by using facet integration. A two-dimensional improved sea surface simulated is discretized into three matrices of sea surface facets including a height matrix and two slope matrices on orthogonal directions. Based on the Kirchhoff approximation, the polarimetric scattered field is derived in the Cartesian coordinate system by integration of three matrices mentioned above. Finally, the fully polarised radar cross section is numerically simulated and the dependence of the polarimetric scattering on the sea fractal surface, such as the wind speed, the wind direction, as well as the fractal dimension, is discussed in detail.
