AN INVESTIGATION OF THE DIRECT BACKSCATTER OF HIGH-FREQUENCY RADIO WAVES FROM LAND, SEA WATER, AND ICE SURFACES

An airborne high-frequency radar operating at 32.8 Mc was used to investigate the backscatter of radio energy from the earth's surface. The backscatter from various topographical features such as the ocean, polar sea ice, and selected land surfaces was examined for significant characteristics....
