Journal ArticleDOI
The use of ERS-1 SAR data in snow melt monitoring
TL;DR: Results indicate that even in the presence of forest canopies wet snow can be distinguished from other soil/snow conditions (dry snow and bare ground), and snow melt maps can be derived from SAR images.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scattering from natural rough surfaces modeled by fractional Brownian motion two-dimensional processes
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for electromagnetic scattering from natural rough surfaces described by means of fractional Brownian motion model is developed and the fractal surface model is employed to obtain the Kirchhoff solution of the Stratton-Chu scattering integral.

Simulation of the microwave emission of multi-layered snowpacks using the Dense Media Radiative transfer theory: the DMRT-ML model

TL;DR: The Dense Media Radiative Transfer (DMRT) model as discussed by the authors is a physically based numerical model designed to compute the thermal microwave emission of a given snowpack, and it has been used to simulate the thermal emission of the deep firn on ice sheets, shallow snowpacks overlying soil in Arctic and Alpine regions, and overlying ice on the large ice-sheet margins and glaciers.
Journal ArticleDOI
A stochastic, multiscale model of microwave backscatter from the ocean
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the Kirchhoff integral can be computed for the variable local incidence angle caused by surface wave slopes by applying them over restricted regions of the surface and successively break the surface into regions from which the scatter comes from small-, intermediate-, and large scale waves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scene characterization using subaperture polarimetric SAR data
TL;DR: A method is proposed, which eliminates the influence of azimuthal backscattering variations in conventional polarimetric SAR data analysis, and allows to clearly discriminate media showing a nonstationary behavior during the SAR integration.

Journal ArticleDOI
A proposed spectral form for fully developed wind seas based on the similarity theory of S. A. Kitaigorodskii
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the data for the spectra of fully developed seas obtained for wind speeds from 20 to 40 knots as measured by anemometers on two weather ships.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relation of raindrop-size to intensity
J. Otis Laws,Donald A. Parsons +1 more
TL;DR: The applicability of such results to conditions of natural rainfall has been thrown in doubt as discussed by the authors, and the results have been found to be affected by the drop-size and velocity of the artificial rains applied.
Journal ArticleDOI
A well‐calibrated ocean algorithm for special sensor microwave / imager
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe an algorithm for retrieving geophysical parameters over the ocean from special sensor microwave/imager (SSM/I) observations, based on a model for the brightness temperature T(sub B) of the ocean and intervening atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new model for sea clutter
TL;DR: In this article, first-order scattering theory is applied to obtain sea clutter cross sections in terms of mean-squared height spectrum of the sea surface, and the results are in remarkably good agreement with observations for vertical polarization at P-, L-, C-, and X -bands.
