Abstract
The research program includes the following topics:
-
(a)
Summarizing microwave remote sensing fundamentals, i.e., microwave scattering from objects, surfaces, and volume-distributed targets.
-
(b)
Differentiation between surface and volume scattering on the basis of polarimetric analysis of mono-static reflections.
-
(c)
Polarimetric scattering from models consisting of two layers and description of different kinds of surfaces, including interfaces between the atmosphere and ground, atmosphere and sea, etc.
-
(d)
Polarimetric scattering from models involving three layers and description of interfaces between atmosphere, vegetation and ground.
-
(e)
Spatial and temporal statistics of polarimetric scattering from rough surfaces.
