Abstract

The utilization of hydrological (surface wind and sea wave slope) dependencies in radio physical calculations is discussed. An account is given of the results of joint hydrological and radiometric experiments. A quantitative model for microwave (3-50 GHz band) calculations in remote sensing of the "ocean-atmosphere" system is presented.
