Abstract

Analytical expression of normalized radar backscattering cross-section (NRCS) contrasts for shallow water bathymetry SAR images has been firstly obtained by applying the continuity equation and the first order Bragg backscattering theory, and replacing the surface wave action balance equation with high frequency ocean wave spectrum balance equation. Based on the expression, we have simulated C band NRCS contrasts under different currents and sea surface winds firstly, results show the trend of NRCS contrasts' change with the shallow water bathymetry, and preferable currents and sea surface winds conditions for mapping shallow water bathymetry by SAR, which agree well with observations and shallow water bathymetry SAR images simulations. Moreover, the NRCS contrasts index which means the relationship between each currents and sea surface winds under given bathymetry parameters is first quantitatively calculated, which gives scientific proof for carrying SAR shallow water bathymetry surveys according to the ocean and weather conditions.
