Abstract

This paper reveals the theoretical possibilities of using the underwater solar path images (USPI) to retrieve the wind wave spectra, including situation when surfactant film is on the sea surface. It contains a theoretical model of USPI, an algorithm for retrieval wave spectra through statistical moments of USPI, and results of testing proposed algorithm using numerical simulation. The last one was based on the Elfouhaily wind wave spectrum and the Ermakov model of thin surfactant film. The use of modeling made it possible to establish the main difficulties in achieving a solution of challenging, and also to offer an alternative method. The obtained results confirm the efficiency of the developed method.
