The present invention relates to a method for calculating wind-rain-wave coupled sea surface scattering and high-resolution SAR imaging under high sea conditions. The method comprises the following steps: establishing a time-varying nonlinear rainfall sea surface geometric model under high sea conditions using white
canopy coverage and a rainfall-corrected sea spectrum; solving for sea surface scattering using a rainfall-corrected dual-
scale model, taking into account the corrective effect of the rainfall annular spectrum on the sea surface
capillary wave spectrum; solving for the scattering and attenuation of rainfall particles in the
atmosphere, as well as the coupled scattering effects of rain columns, secondary splashed
seawater droplets, and foam on the sea surface at the sea-
air interface using vector
radiative transfer theory; and performing SAR imaging of the rain-induced sea surface under high sea conditions using a velocity spotlight
imaging algorithm. Advantageously, the method utilizes vector
radiative transfer theory in combination with a three-layer random
particle model to provide an accurate and
effective method for calculating wind-rain-wave coupled sea surface scattering and high-resolution SAR imaging under high sea conditions, with high computational speed.
