Concepts for an Efficient Sar Ocean Simulator

Three essential demands claimed in the literature are here considered for describing the interaction mechanism between SAR and ocean surface. They can briefly synthetized as: extended stochastic time-variant scene model, applicability of the two-scale approximation, and inclusion of nonlinear hydrodynamic interactions. In the following the nonlinear interactions between the small and large scale structure is in particular taken into account. It is also shown how to include the proposed model in an efficient simulation tool.
