Abstract :
The radar backscattering cross-sections of various land and sea surfaces were measured by a unique device called a scatterometer.2 The scatterometer measures radar backscattering of the terrain at all angles of incidence simultaneously by utilizing the doppler spectral density of an airborne radar system. The system was vertically polarized and had a transmitter frequency of 13.3 Gc.
