Radar Reflectivity of the Earth's Surface
There are distinct similarities between reflection phenomena in the microwave region and at optical, infrared, and the longer radio wavelengths. In addition, certain common features are exhibited in the scattering of sound and the scattering of radio waves from irregular surfaces. While the subject of scattering from rough surfaces has been studied since the publication of Rayleigh's classical ...
متن کاملToward an Improved Downward Refinement Operator for Inductive Logic Programming
In real-world supervised Machine Learning tasks, the learned theory can be deemed as valid only until there is evidence to the contrary (i.e., new observations that are wrongly classified by the theory). In such a case, incremental approaches allow to revise the existing theory to account for the new evidence, instead of learning a new theory from scratch. In many cases, positive and negative e...
متن کاملMartian Surface Radar Reflectivity by Marsis
Introduction: Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) on board Mars Express is a decameter sounder radar, which can work in two different modes : subsurface or ionosphere sounding. The subsurface sounding uses 4 different frequency bands, which are centered to 1.8, 3, 4 and 5 MHz. Each band is 1 MHz wide. [1,2]. In this work, we study the reflectivity of Martian surf...
متن کاملPolarimetric Radar Imaging of the Ocean Surface
Introduction: Understanding the relationship between ocean surface waves and the radar backscatter they generate is key to the development of new radar-based techniques to measure ocean parameters, such as wave height and current speed and direction, of importance to both the Navy and the civilian sector. This knowledge is also needed to improve the Navy’s ability to distinguish between signals...
متن کاملthe foreign policy of russia toward caucasus 2000-2008
after the soviet union dissolution, a chaotic period was begun in the russia. russia lost its glory and felt disgrace. the first group of elites came to power under yeltsin; they tried to re-define russia’s identity as a european country and build a foreign policy on this baseline. therefore russia tried to become closer with the west especially with the u.s. according to their view the sovie...
