Abstract:

Our achievements during this research can be summarized under three headings as follows 1 Investigations of the knowledge of ocean surface geometry required for accurate estimates of ocean surface, sigma 2 Investigation of a new method for estimating sigma for the ocean and 3 Comparison of model results others, as well as ours with a comprehensive compilation of observational data sets giving sigma for a wide variety of observational and air-sea environmental parameters.
