Emulsified oil slicks can not only damp short gravity and capillary waves on the sea surface, but also reduce the permittivity of the contaminated area. This paper simulates the backscattering coefficients of emulsion oil covered sea surfaces based on AIEM, with the damping model described by model of local balance (MLB). The sea surface covered by emulsion oil with finite thickness is modeled as a layered-medium to calculate the composite reflection coefficients. The simulation results of oil-covered sea surface are compared to those of clean sea surfaces and discussed in terms of incidence angles and frequencies of EM waves, oil thickness and wind speeds.
