The TSC and GTRI Sea Clutter Models 1,2 are empirical models with a theoretical dependency for wind direction. Observations collected during at-sea testing have forced a reappraisal of the wind aspect factor, as predicted and observed minima in the crosswind direction were not treated by the model.We modified the wind aspect factor to reflect theory and observation, and now have excellent agreement among model, theory, and observation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
