摘要：

Previous authors have associated large events, or "sea spikes', in the radar cross section of the sea surface with steep or breaking waves. Here we present a method based on an intensity threshold and the mean Doppler frequency to identify and quantify sea spikes likely to be associated with large-scale wave breaking. This method is applied to microwave measurements of Ku band made with a dual-polarized Doppler scatterometer at a moderate incidence angle (45°) from a fixed platform in the North Sea. -from Authors
