HF Radar Scattering over Ocean Surfaces with Electromagnetically Large Waves

High-frequency (HF) radars have been employed over the years in the remote sensing of the ocean surface, either for target detection, or for meteorological and oceanographic studies of the ocean surface itself. To understand the multiple phenomena occurring on the ocean surface, researchers have developed models for the radar cross-section...
