MARC recordA combined surface- and volume-scattering model for ice-sheet radar altimetry / Curt H. Davis, Richard K. Moore.
| Title: | A combined surface- and volume-scattering model for ice-sheet radar altimetry / Curt H. Davis, Richard K. Moore. |
| Author(s): | Davis, Curt H. Moore, Richard K. |
| Date: | 1993. |
| In: | Journal of Glaciology. (1993.), Vol. 39(133) (1993) |
| Abstract: | Theoretical model describing volume-scattered power for ice-sheet altimetry is derived, assuming Gaussian distributions for antenna pattern and transmitted pulse shape. Volume-scattering model is combined with Brown surface-scattering model and applied to averaged return wave forms from Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. Results show return wave forms are characterized by varying amounts of surface- and volume-scattering. Surface scattering is predominant in low-altitude regions of Greenland ice sheet, whereas varying combinations of surface- and volume-scattering occur at higher altitudes. In plateau of east Antarctica, volume-scattering is predominant. |
