Abstract.
The appearance of the radar
contrast between clean and oily areas is analyzed in the framework of the model
of resonant scattering of radio waves by sea surface. It is shown that the
presence of long (compared to bragg components) waves leads to an reduction of
the radar contrast.
Key words:
sea surface, oil
pollution, radar contrast.
