Title: The effects of snow on landmarks in K/sub u/ band SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) images

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6214762

This report documents research into the effects of snow on candidate landmarks for the TFS radar. It includes a discussion of a simple snow model, relevant backscatter data from previous ground based collections, predictions of the effects of snow coverage based on this data, a discussion of the snow data collection with the TFS radar, and an analysis of the results of that collection. All SAR images are for a K/sub u/ band radar, with HH polarization, and a 30/degree/ depression angle. The images have three meter resolution and a one kilometer swath. SAR images were collected of both rural and urban landmarks. 5 refs., 7 figs., 19 tabs.
