Abstract. The paper analyzes variations of sea surface slope dispersion with different-length surface waves that create the slopes. The analysis includes numerical modeling and comparison of results obtained using it with remote sensing data in the radio range as well as with in situ measurements. In numerical modeling, broadband models of surface wave spectra are used, which describe the wave field from long dominant waves to short ripples. To compare results we used data of radiometric and radar measurements as well as data of measurements performed using a laser inclinometer, string waveographs, and waveographic buoys. It is shown that the obtained type of slope dispersion variation with the wavelength range in general corresponds to the measurement data. A significant difference is noted at wavelengths not exceeding 0.01 m.
Key words: remote sensing, sea waves, radio waves, sea surface slopes, wind, statistical moments of the second order.
