Abstract :
The problem of wave scattering from icebergs has been considered. The angular behavior of the backscattering intensity and angular correlation function for various relations between the wavelength and iceberg height has been investigated. It is shown that the interference pattern arises due to the interaction of the scattered waves. Usage of the observed phenomenon to determine the iceberg height is discussed
