T1 Influence of the Upper Layer of Soil on the CM and MM Radio Waves Backscattering JF Telecommunications and Radio Engineering JO TRE YR 2006 FD 2006-07-01 VO 65 IS 11-15 SP 1063 OP 1076 AB The specific of centimeter and millimeter radio waves backscattering by the soil stipulated by the layer-like structure of its moisture upon the depth and the spatial fluctuations of dielectric permeability of the upper layer of the soil have been analyzed with respect of remote sensing from aerospace carriers. The quantity estimates are provided for 3-cm and 8-mm radio waves. The strong influence of sharp alterations of soil moisture that can exist at the depth of units of millimeters upon the backscattering is demonstrated.
