Matvyeyev O. Investigations into the sea surface inhomogeneities by multifrequency radar sensing methods.

The dissertation is devoted to grounding the physical principles, developing experimentally validating the remote sensing multifrequency radar methods to study the sea surface inhomogeneities caused by the surface - active substances (SAS) and the inhomogeneities that arise in the water areas of sea currents. The thesis in question provides the well-grounded evidence for the advantages of multifrequecy radar sensing to evaluate the SAS film parameters, to monitor the most dynamic boundary sea current zones and to determine the boundaries of these currents. The requirements have been set for the multifrequency radar system parameters to investigate the sea surface inhomogeneities. There requirements have been complied with in developing the airborne complex ''MARS''. The techniques for multifrequency radar investigations into the above-cited inhomogeneities have been developed and experimentally verified using the ''MARS'' complex.
