Abstract :
Results of Ku-band side-looking airborne real aperture radar measurements from the TU-134 aircraft laboratory obtained during the JUSREX-92 are presented. Many natural processes in the ocean and boundary layer under various atmosphere conditions were observed. The object of this report is to compare VV and HH radar data, mainly for internal wave (IW) surface manifestations. A numerical experiment for multipath scattering was done to explain the difference between HH and VV images.
