This article presents a two-way parabolic equation (2WPE) method based on the Pade(2,2) approximation form, which can model bidirectional electromagnetic wave (EW) propagation in a sea environment. Compared with other common approximation forms, the Pade(2,2) approximation has better convergence and accuracy. To accurately simulate the reflection and refraction effects of EW propagation near the sea surface, an improved fractal sea surface model is used to construct the geometric rough sea surface. The results of the Pade(2,2) approximation PE model are compared with those of the Miller-Brown model, and good agreement is observed. Numerous experiments prove that the 2WPE model is more accurate than the one-way parabolic equation model for predicting large-scale radio wave propagation in marine environments. Furthermore, we investigate the relationship between the backward-scattered EWs and the wind speed. The polynomial fitting method is adopted to process a large amount of sampled data for backward-scattered EWs with different wind speeds and frequencies. Through accurate judgment of the points of the polynomial fitting curve in a certain frequency range, the wind speed over the sea surface can be precisely determined. Thus, this article provides a novel theoretical method for marine remote sensing.
