摘要
The theory of 'weakly' non-linear (WNL) waves is commonly used in generating higher statistical moments of a random surface wave field. These moments can be used, for example, to estimate the Sea State Bias (SSB) in radar altimetry under a Geometric Optical (GO) assumption. The present investigation suggests that several previous SSB studies appear to have misapplied this WNL theory by violating its condition of validity. As a result, a pronounced inconsistency appears even for lower-order moments.
