Omnidirectional polarimetric scattering in the upper half-space from ocean-like rough surfaces

Omnidirectional polarimetric scattering in the upper half-space from an ocean-like rough surface is studied by using facet integration based on the Kirchhoff Approximation (KA). Omnidirectional polarimetric scattering coefficients in the upper half-space are illustrated with a hemisphere where the latitude and the longitude are represented as scattering angle and azimuth angle, respectively. The influence of wind speed, wind direction and incident angle on the omnidirectional polarimetric scattering coefficients and the polarization ratio is discussed in detail.
