are evident. Variations in reflectance of the sea surface between 

 waves is comparable to variations caused by moderate sea state or 

 incident angle changes. Thus wave-to-wave variations in reflect- 

 ance are of the same magnitude as moderate (but significant) changes 

 in sea state. 



Wo relationship between variations in reflectance and sea state 

 or angle of incidence could be found. This, however, could have 

 arisen from the mixed sea that was present during the experiment.
