Abstract
We present some recent progresses in the characterization of Ka-band radar return from water surfaces when observed at small incidence. We report on a radar experiment conducted at the large Pytheas wind-wave facility in Marseille and provide associated models. We consider the applicability of the results to natural oceanic and continental surfaces and show some specific properties of the sea clutter in the latter case.
