Abstract :
The GO-SSA-Extended model is an extension of the physical GO-SSA model with augmented range of validity. It is obtained through the addition of extra empirical terms. This improved model can predict the backscatter reflectivity from the sea surface for the full range of grazing and azimuthal angles. This model compares favorably with Xband experimental measurements (VV and HH polarization) acquired by the ONERA and DSTO.
