According to calculations of the upward radiation at the TOA level made on the base of the Cox-Munk model of sea surface slopes distribution and Sobolev
model of atmospheric scattering, presented are the sun glint quantitative characteristics such as length, maximal width and maximal contrast for satellite
scanner measurements in the visible and near-IR ranges of 0.4-1.6 lm for sea wind velocities of 2-14 m/s at a 10 m height at zonal and meridional directions
and aerosol optical depth of 0.03, 0.21, corresponding to the cases of pure atmosphere and with presence of marine aerosol above moderate level, for a
sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 866 km. For other satellite heights the maximal contrast and length are almost unchanged, and for the maximal
width corresponding corrections are given. Presented results may be used for the purposes of planning of satellite measurements of sea and atmosphere
parameters sensitive to the sun glint manifestations and for analyzing of satellite images.
