Partial contents:
Introduction -- Surface backscattering mechanisms -- Surface backscattering trends and comparisons with measurements -- Backscattering from the sea surface -- A geophysical model function for wing scatterometry.
Abstract: This resource explains and demonstrates the backscattering properties of multiscale rough surfaces, and illustrates their application to establish the geophysical model function (GMF) needed in wind scatterometry. This book also explains how the mechanisms of backscattering change with frequency and the incident angle on a multiscale surface and how to recognize single scale versus multiscale surfaces - very useful information for those wanting to use backscattering models more efficiently.
