In the framework of composite model of normalizes radar cross section of the sea surface, some peculiarities of radar scattering are examined. It is shown that there is a need to take into account both the Bragg component and specular reflection for retrieval of physical parameters of the atmosphere and ocean. A possible way to solving the problem of wind retrieval with the use of radar image is proposed. Its realization will allow one to compare SLR data with the information from scatterometers.
