Abstract
The influence of atmospheric boundary layer stability on radar imagery at two polarizations is considered. A strong dependence of ripple man ifestations on the relative directions of sounding and the wind is not ed in vertically polarized images. The main mechanisms for modulation of resonant scattering ripples by long surface waves are examined.
