The orientation of the radar beam relative to the Earth’s surface.  3, record 3, English, - polarization

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Polarization of the radar signal is the orientation of the electromagnetic field and is a factor in the way in which the radar signal interacts with ground objects and the resulting energy reflected back. Most radar imaging sensors are designed to transmit microwave radiation either horizontally polarized(H) or vertically polarized(V), and receive either the horizontally or vertically polarized backscattered energy.  4, record 3, English, - polarization

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS

Polarimetric radars, like RADARDAT-2, are able to transmit and receive both horizontal and vertical polarizations. With this configuration, four linearly polarized signals are measured coherently in the scattering matrix: HH, HV, VH, and VV. Consequently, the user can derive additional information about the target to aid in the analysis.  5, record 3, English, - polarization

Le REM [rayonnement électromagnétique] se caractérise [notamment] par [...] la polarisation, qui caractérise la variation du plan dans lequel oscille l'onde. Si cette variation est aléatoire, l'onde est dite non polarisée. Si ce plan reste fixe, la polarisation est dite rectiligne.  3, record 3, French, - polarisation

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT

La polarisation représente la mesure de l'orientation du plan d'oscillation du signal radar, déterminée par l'antenne du radar. En effet, l'antenne d'un radar peut être ajustée de façon différente à l'émission et à la réception du signal. Les radars utilisés en télédétection sont habituellement conçus pour transmettre un signal polarisé soit horizontalement, soit verticalement. De même, le radar peut recevoir un signal polarisé dans le plan horizontal, dans le plan vertical ou encore dans les deux plans. On désigne habituellement le plan horizontal par la lettre H et le plan vertical par la lettre V. Une image radar peut donc représenter un signal HH (transmission horizontale, réception horizontale), VV (transmission verticale, réception verticale), HV (transmission horizontale, réception verticale) ou vice versa.  4, record 3, French, - polarisation

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 3 CONT

RADARSAT-2 est conçu pour transmettre alternativement un signal H et un signal V de même que pour recevoir simultanément ces signaux, créant ainsi des données polarimétriques. Cette particularité permet au capteur de générer des images dans une variété de polarisations (HH, VV, HV et VH). Les données radars en polarisation parallèle ou croisée présentent des caractéristiques spécifiques liées aux propriétés des surfaces observées. Il est donc possible d'accentuer certaines propriétés de surfaces, telles l'humidité ou la rugosité du sol, en choisissant la polarisation appropriée ou encore en combinant diverses polarisations.  4, record 3, French, - polarisation

The POLDER(Polarization and Directionality of the Earth's Reflectances) instrument will observe the polarization, directional and spectral characteristics of the solar light reflected by aerosols, clouds, oceans and land surfaces. POLDER is a push broom, wide field of view, multi-band imaging radiometer/polarimeter developed by CNES. Multi-angle viewing is achieved by the along-track migration at the spacecraft velocity of a quasi-square footprint intercepted by the total instantaneous 114-degree wide field of view. This footprint is partitioned into 242x274 elements of quasi-constant 7kmx6km resolution, imaged by a CCD matrix in the focal plane.  2, record 4, English, - polarisation%20and%20directionality%20of%20the%20Earth%26rsquo%3Bs%20reflectances

An unofficial numismatic term used to describe the reflective fields of proofs and prooflikes. Mirror depth can be measured by holding printed matter in front of a coin and increasing the distance between the two. If the printing is reflected in the field but is not clear at a distance of under one inch, the coin is semi-prooflike; if clearly reflected, that is readable, at a distance of one to four inches, the coin is prooflike and has a deep mirror; similarly at four to eight inches, it is very deep, and ultra deep beyond eight inches.  1, record 5, English, - mirror%20depth

Source : PASCAL database... There has been a resurgence of a universalist social-political philosophy, Pan-Indianism, that had as its precursor the cultural-political category of phratry... current trends toward Pan-Indianism are reflected in the recent tendency toward articles dealing with American Indian social problems... all Native American tribes are equally involved in Pan-Indianism. Observation through field work of intertribal interaction in Los Angeles reveals that Navajo have very little representation in such activities and tend to form enclaves, being especially hostile to Sioux... Pan-Indianism sentiment... For several decades now scholarly concern with native Americans has reflected an interest in Pan-Indianism. Perhaps one of the most important institutional settings fostering Pan-Indianism has been the federal boarding school... reconciliation between Pan-Indianism and Catholicism....  1, record 6, English, - pan%2Dindianism
