I am greatly honored to be awarded the Okada Prize of the Oceanographic Society of Japan for 1994. The present article reviews my works concerning physical processes of air-sea interface and their relation to microwave backscattering from the wind wave surfaces. A series of laboratory studies by the Physical Oceanography Group, Tohoku University has revealed that fine structures of wind-wave surfaces are generated through physical processes of turbulent boundary layers above and below the air-sea interface. Microwave backscattering from the wind wave surfaces are investigated in a wind-wave tunnel by using a X-band microwave scatterometer. Detailed analysis of time series of the backscattered intensity and Doppler spectrum shows the physical processes of microwave backscattering are closely associated with the processes of the wind wave field.
