attenuation in the atmosphere; H is the height of the troposphere; R is the re fl ectivity

of water surface.
An intensity of natural radiation of the water surface is determined as:

j T s at microwave range,

I s ¼

d

BT ðÞ at infrared range

:

where T s is the thermodynamic (kinetic) temperature of the ocean surface, ʺ and ʴ

are the emissivity coef cient of the ocean surface at microwave and infrared ranges,

respectively.
The intensity of atmospheric radiation related to the level z is determined as:

I a ðÞ ¼ c ðÞ T a ðÞ at microwave range,

c ðÞ BT ðÞ at infrared range :
