Abstract
A new model of radar imaging of ocean fronts is presented. Along with Bragg scattering the radar part of the model accounts for scattering from breaking waves. The Impact of sea front on wind waves results from both surface current and varying wind forcing adjusted to sea temperature. The model results are compared with field "CoastWatch-95" observations
