Abstract
Wind direction over the sea can be determined from radiometric measure ments of the third Stokes parameter (T-U). The Kirchhoff method is ext ended under the stationary phase approximation to compute the dependen ce of T-U on frequency, wind speed and incidence angle. Numerical pred ictions, in agreement with experimental measurements, are presented.
