Abstract:

The effect of wind waves on radiation reflected by the sea surface is considered. Integral equations are obtained which describe the reflected radiation in the double scattering approximation of the interaction of the radiation with the "ocean-atmosphere" system. We have obtained analytical formulas which are in good agreement with the results of numerical integration outside the sun’s glitter pattern.
