Electromagnetic propagation above a rough polluted sea surface differs from one above a clean sea. Indeed, a damp effect on the waves appears. This can be used to detect a pollutant leakage. In this article, we model the propagation of electromagnetic waves above a polluted sea using a fast wavelet-based method and a two-scale model. Numerical simulations in S-band are provided.
