| Abstract | Recent SAR observations of polarised backscatter from the Greenland Ice sheet have shown anomalous behaviour (Rignot, 1993), with several features in common with earlier earth based radar observations of the icy Galilean satellites (Ostro, 1990). In particular, the observed circular and linear polarisation ratios are much higher than those observed for any other type of natural scattering mechanism and this, combined with a larger than expected reflectivity, has set a challenge for the modelling community. A common feature of all feasible models is the assumption of wave propagation in low loss but highly anisotropic media. This implies that the observed radar signal is the result of many scattering events, each of which is polarisation dependent. That any polarisation structure survives such averaging is indeed surprising but is entirely consistent with recent analytical and numerical studies of enhanced backscatter or weak localisation in random media (Mishchenko, 1993). The present author proposes a probabilistic Target Decomposition (TD) theorem based on eigenvector analyses of the observed coherency matrix. This the author suggests provides a unified framework in which to investigate the polarisation properties of such anomalous behaviour. After outlining the main features of the polarimetric observations the key features of the target decomposition are briefly summarized approach and applied to a simplified model of multiple scattering from low loss particles. In this way a probabilistic model is proposed for the study of depolarisation effects in random media problems. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
