Surface effects on the microwave backscatter and emission of snow / A.K. Fung, W.H. Stiles, F.T. Ulaby.

Title: Surface effects on the microwave backscatter and emission of snow / A.K. Fung, W.H. Stiles, F.T. Ulaby.
Author(s): Fung, A. K.
Stiles, W. H.
Ulaby, F. T.
Date: 1980.
Publisher: [New York]: Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
Abstract: Investigates effects of surface roughness on backscatter and emission from snow. Reports measurements performed with active and passive microwave sensors for both dry and wet snow conditions. Finds layer of Rayleigh scatterers with irregular surface boundaries to be reasonable model for interpreting passive and active measurements in X- and Ku-bands. Finds that roughness had significant effect on both backscatter and emission from wet snow; however, notes only a small effect for dry snow.
