L'objectif de cette étude est de modéliser la diffusion électromagnétique par des surfaces océaniques, lorsqu'elles sont éclairées par des radars hautes fréquences à ondes de surface. L'approche communément retenue est d'étudier la diffusion en incidence rasante. Des études récentes s'appuient sur des méthodes dites exactes. Comme de telles méthodes impliquent des temps de calculs et des volumes de données prohibitifs, il devient important d'implémenter des techniques permettant de réduire ces coûts. L'enjeu est également de comprendre les interactions entre l'onde électromagnétique et la surface océanique. Nous présentons dans cet article les principales caractéristiques de notre simulateur et une comparaison avec des mesures.

The object of the study is to model the electromagnetic scattering by time-evolving sea surfaces illuminated by high frequency surface wave radars. A common way to simulate this case is to consider the scattering at grazing incidence. Recent studies have focused on so-called exact methods. As such methods are very time and memory consuming, it becomes important to implement techniques to reduce the calculation costs. Another important issue is to better understand the interactions between the electromagnetic waves and moving sea surfaces. We present in this article our simulator main characteristics and a comparison between simulated data and measurements.
