• Remote sensing
• Low-grazing angles
• Natural surfaces

We present a rigorous model, based on a specific boundary integral formalism for the wave scattering from rough, one-dimensional, dielectric or conducting surfaces at low-grazing incidence and scattering angles. Even though this so-called Grazing Method of Moment is, from a numerical cost point of view, independent of the incidence, it remains very numerically demanding. We thus propose an extrapolation technique for faster monostatic diagram computation, based on the theoretical behavior of the scattering amplitude at low-grazing angles. This technique is compared to the GMoM and to some approximate models. for surfaces with Gaussian spectrum as well as for sea surface.
