ADM-Aeolus, Ocean albedo, v.1.0

J de Kloe, A Stoffelen

This document describes the interaction between the ADM-Aeolus zero-wind-calibration measurements and the ocean surface, and gives some details on the effect of the wave shape, and reflectivity distribution, on the expected albedo and detected net LOS water surface movement.
To achieve this a simple wave-model has been coupled to a reflectivity parametrisation.
