Abstract:

We analyze the in situ measurements of local sea surface slopes, as well as the data of simultaneous laser sensing along nadir. The measurements were conducted from an oceanographic platform in the Black Sea, off the coast of the southern Crimea. It is shown that the relation of integral parameters of a series of flares due to specular reflections from sea surface and local sea surface slopes has statistical nature. Correlation matrices and regression equations are calculated to describe this statistics.
