The angle defined by the incident radar beam and the vertical (normal) to the intercepting surface. 3, record 5, English, - incidence%20angle
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The incidence angle is commonly used to describe the angular relationship between the radar beam and the ground, surface layer or a target. A change of the radar illumination angle often affects the radar backscattering behaviour of a surface or target. The incidence angle changes across the radar image swath; it increases from near range to far range. In the case of satellite radar imagery, the change of incidence angle for flat terrain across the imaging swath tends to be rather small, usually on the order of several degrees. In the case of an inclined surface (slope), the local incidence angle is defined as the angle between the incident radar beam and a line that is normal to that surface. The local incidence angle determining, in part, the brightness, or image tone, for each picture element (pixel) and slope facet, is a key element in the prominent rendition of terrain features in radar imagery. 3, record 5, English, - incidence%20angle
