Abstract

There are presented experimental investigations of interrelationships of wide-spread terrain-surface types with their biogeophysical parameters over the short millimeter wave range. Found angular, polarization and frequency dependencies, as well as the considered regularities may be useful when choosing apparatus parameters of remote-sensing systems, and also when working out and evaluating algorithms of their operation.
