Correlation between the NRCS and the Wind Speed over Sea in Both Monostatic and Bistatic Configurations

In this paper, we study and analyze the correlation between the NRCS and the wind speed over the sea surface in both monostatic and bistatic configurations. In our investigation we paid special attention to particular behavior in this correlation. The NRCS numerical calculations were made by using the first order of the Small Slope Approximation (SSA) scattering model and by assuming the Elfouhaily et al. surface-height spectrum for fully developed seas.
