Paper discusses aspects of theory of near-nadir radar backscatter from well-developed sea. Study contributed to development of new technique for determination of sea-state bias in satellite altimeter measurements. Paper questions assumptions, bringing accepted interpretation of nadir and near-nadir radar backscattering into doubt.
