Abstract :
Studies sponsored by NASA at the Center for Research, Inc., University of Kansas, in cooperation with several other universities and government research agencies have substantiated the applicability of remote sensing to many fields within the earth sciences, agriculture, and oceanography [1]. The purpose of this paper is to show how the properties of radar are used to provide geoscience information.
