Statistical properties of short wind-waves obtained from photo-stereo observations of sea surface

Theoretical and experimental description of statistical properties of sea surface play a dominant role in ocean remote sensing techniques, in particular in the microwave regime. Definite connection of non-linear features of sea waves with environmental conditions makes it possible to interpret the signal registered by active and passive sensors. In particular, non-Gaussian wave-height and slope distributions should be included into microwave scattering models to model a more realistic radar sign
