The application provides a method and
system for calculating the electromagnetic
scattering coefficient of a sea surface under the action of a two-dimensional flow field, comprising the following steps: step 1, setting a sea surface area to be observed, setting flow field and
wind field data, and setting
radar parameters; step 2, setting relevant parameters in a wave-current
interaction model, and establishing a wave
action spectrum conservation equation according to the wave-current
interaction model; step 3, solving the wave
action spectrum conservation equation by using a
ray tracing method to obtain a new wave
action spectrum of a
wave train after the
wave train is modulated by the flow field; step 4, converting the new wave action spectrum obtained in step 3 into a
wave height spectrum, and calculating
sea level related information including the
root mean square height and the local incidence angle of each point by using the
wave height spectrum; and step 5, inputting the calculated sea surface information and the set
radar parameters into an IEM electromagnetic scattering model to calculate the modulated backscattering coefficient. The flow field modulation model based on the IEM model can effectively calculate the electromagnetic scattering of the sea surface under the modulation of the two-dimensional flow field.
