Description 499-503
The
distribution of sun glitter areas on the sea surface is discussed. Theoretical
distribution, which is obtained for Gaussian sea surface is verified using
experimental data. Sun glitter images, taken with a high time and spatial
resolution digital camera are developed by using specially designed FORTRAN
program which calculates the statistical characteristics of glints. The
experimentally defined distribution of glint areas (or reciprocal of Gaussian
curvature at the specular reflection points) is compared with theoretical
distribution. It is pointed, that the main causes of small divergence must be
the following effects: 1) the real waved surface is not completely Gaussian 2)
the solid angle of the sun is finite but not zeros. Using glint characteristics
the possibility of oil films detection on the sea surface is discussed, also.
