The paper presents the results of wind-waves research performed by authors during four years of experiments. Determination of gravity-capillary wave spectrum parameters was carried out on the basis of a method called Non-Linear Radio-Thermal Resonance Spectroscopy (NRRS-method). This method allows one to retrieve the curvature spectrum of gravity-capillary waves and the value of long-wave slope variance, both averaged over azimuth angle. As an input data for the NRRS-method, the results of remote radio-polarimetric observations of waved sea surface are used. The results cover the range of wave numbers from 0.39 up to 15.707 rad/cm and are obtained from sea-surface self-radiation measurements at a wavelength of 8 mm. In total, about 1500 experimental curves corresponding to an extensive set of weather condition combinations are retrieved. The restored spectral curves have common features with well-known models of spectrum presented in literature. Their prominent dependence on wind intensity is demonstrated.
Keywords: spectrum, wind waves, gravity-capillary range, microwave radiation, remote sensing, method of Non-Linear Radio-Thermal Resonance Spectroscopy
