Abstract :
The results of field experimental (airborne) investigations of distribution peculiarities of sea surface background, natural origin radar signatures are presented. Statistical characteristics of distributions of natural origin sea surface radar signatures spatial sizes and radar contrasts are obtained, under various sea state, wind speed, air and water temperatures and observation conditions.
