The JONSWAP spectrum sea surface is mainly determined by parameters such as the wind speed, the fetch length and the peak enhancement factor. In view of the study of electromagnetic scattering from JONSWAP spectrum sea surface, we need to determine the above parameters. In this paper, we use the double summation model to generate the multi-directional irregular rough JONSWAP sea surface and analyze the distribution concentration parameter and the peak enhancement factor’s influence on the rough sea surface model, then using physical optics method to analysis the JONSWAP spectrum sea surface’s average backward scattering coefficient change with the different distribution concentration parameters and the peak enhancement factors, the simulation results show that the peak enhancement factor influence on the ocean surface of the average backward scattering coefficient is less than 1 dB, but the distribution concentration parameter influence on the JONSWAP surface of the average backward scattering coefficient is more than 5 dB. Therefore, when we study the electromagnetic scattering of the JONSWAP spectral sea surface, the peak enhancement factor can be taken as the mean value but the distribution concentration parameter have to be determined by the wave growth state.
