Millimeter - Wave Radar Scattering from Terrain: Data Handbook

Authors: Thomas F. Haddock; Fawwaz T. Ulaby; MICHIGAN UNIV ANN ARBOR RADIATION LAB
Abstract:
This report provides a summary of experimental observations of the radar backscatter from terrain, measured by the University of Michigan truck- mounted radar. The data is at 35, 94, and 140 GHz at HH, VV, and HV polarizations. The terrain types observed include dry and wet snow, in covered ground, trees, grasses, asphalt, and gravel. Keywords: Millimeter waves; Snow/ ice; Surface roughness/properties; Tree canopies; Road surfaces; Polarimeters; Radar scattering. (edc)
