Abstract

The results of applying stochastic spectral theory to the temperature distribution and thermal radio emission of a half-space medium are presented. Analytic closed-form expressions for the covariance functions of the temperature profile and the brightness temperature, represented as one-dimensional (1D) integrals of the spectrum of the surface temperature, have been obtained
