Electromagnetic Scattering Analysis of the Sea Surface with Single Breaking Waves by Jingjing Wang, Lixin Guo, Yiwen Wei, Shuirong Chai, Ke Li, Anqi Wang

“…It is found that the structure that is similar to a dihedral corner reflector between the breaking wave and rough sea surface exhibits multiple scattering, which leads to the sea-spike phenomenon that the scattering result of horizontal (HH) polarization is larger than that of vertical (VV) polarization, especially at low-grazing-angle (LGA) incidents with upwind. …”
