“…What is more, one can write a Riccati equation like (83) and a corresponding equation like (89) for the vector electromagnetic wave reflection coefficient from and transmission coefficient through of a two-dimensional periodic interface in the cases of both TE and TH polarizations. In contrast to the method of integral equations [36], our approach using the idea of the transfer relations leads to describing the interface in terms of its intersections by planes z = const similar to the method of the statistical topography [58,59].…”

“…First the transfer relations (29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36) were obtained by Gazaryan [1] in the case of one-dimensional scattering medium using the field superposition principle. For the case of three-dimensional scattering medium the transfer relations (29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36) were derived in [54] on base of the Watson composition rule (15)(16)(17)(18). All transfer relations are derived by the same way which becomes clear from derivation of equation (29) (see Appendix).…”

“…It is worth noting for us paper [28] where the Wood anomalies [29], discovered by light diffraction from a grating, are studied by light diffraction on a rough surface. The problem of wave scattering from periodic dielectric interface are considered using the Waterman [30] extended boundary condition approach in papers [31][32][33][34][35], for the case of one-dimensional interface, and in [36] for the case of two-dimensional interface.…”

A numerical model for polarimetric thermal emission from penetrable ocean surfaces rough in two directions is presented. The numerical model is based on Monte Carlo simulation with an iterative version of the method of moments (MOM) known as the sparse matrix flat surface iterative approach (SMF-SIA), extended to the penetrable surface case through a numerical impedance boundary condition (NIBC) method. Since the small U U U B B B brightnesses obtained from ocean surfaces (usually less than 1.5 K, or 0.5% of a 300-K physical temperature) require extremely accurate simulations to avoid large errors, a parallel version of the algorithm is developed to allow matrix elements to be integrated accurately and stored. The high accuracy required also limits simulations to near flat surface profiles, so that only high-frequency components of the ocean spectrum are modeled. Variations in nadir polarimetric brightness temperatures with spectrum low-and high-frequency cutoffs show the Bragg (or shortwave) portion of the spectrum to contribute significantly to emission azimuthal signatures, as predicted by the small perturbation or composite surface approximate theories. Quantitative comparisons with approximate methods show perturbation theory to slightly overestimate linear brightness temperatures, but accurately predict their azimuthal variations, while physical optics (PO) significantly underestimates both linear brightness temperatures and their azimuthal variations. Further simulations with the numerical model allow sensitivities to ocean spectrum models to be investigated and demonstrate the importance of an accurate azimuthal description for the ocean spectrum.
