A simple physical picture is presented to show how microwave radiation is scattered from a rough surface that evolves with time. In particular, a model is proposed for computing the electromagnetic field scattered from a moving tilted plane containing small-scale roughness. The properties of the ocean surface are then incorporated in this model to qualitatively explain the variation of measured Ku-band radar cross sections and Doppler spectra as a function of the phase of a long ocean-surface wave.
