Abstract :
The authors assess the state of the art, focusing on their own contributions. Covered areas are the electromagnetic inverse problem in radar polarimetry, coherent polarization radar theory, partially coherent polarization radar theory, vector (polarization) inverse scattering approaches, the polarimetric matched filter approach, polarimetric Doppler radar applications in meteorology and oceanography, and image fidelity in microwave vector diffraction tomographic imaging.<>
