The well‐known Rayleigh parameter, which characterizes the degree of roughness of a corrugated surface for the case of reflection on a rough surface, is extended to the reflection on a rough layer. An application to the forward radar propagation over oil slicks on sea surfaces, using the Ament model, is given. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
