The Chahine-Twomey relaxation method for inversion of the atmospheric radiative transfer equation is extended to provide an inverse solution to Barrick's equation describing second order scatter of high frequency (HF) radio waves from the ocean surface. The success of the method is demonstrated here using synthesised radar Doppler spectra obtained by solving the direct problem with wave buoy directional spectrum measurements. Wave buoy measurements are limited in the range of directional characteristics that can be measured. The results presented here suggest that HF radar is capable of providing a more general measurement of the directional spectrum.
