ZHANG Zhong-jun~. The Microwave Scattering and Absorption Characteristics of Vegetation[J]. Journal of Remote Sensing, 2006, (4): 537-541. DOI: 10.11834/jrs.20060479.
the vegetation layer within a footprint is of great diversities and anisotropy.Under lower frequencies the vegetation effect could be obtained by statistical average of the scattering and extinction characteristics of single scatter.In this paper the scattering calculation methods of an arbitrary scatter are discussed
where Raleigh-Gans theory is used for disc and needle
and infinite length approximation theory is employed for cylinder.Regarding the extinction of every kind of scatter
the results of the sum of scattering and absorption coefficient
and that from forward scattering theory are compared and discussed.
