Volume scattering results from many scattering events within a homogeneous media. The backscattered signal is a function of: - Density of the media [;] - Geometry of scattering elements [;] - Dielectric properties of elements. Examples of volume scattering include dense vegetation cover and dry snow. 3, record 1, English, - volume%20scattering

L'augmentation de la diffusion multiple associée à des champs travaillés de surface irrégulière conduit à la dépolarisation des hyperfréquences et à une rétrodiffusion à polarisation croisée élevée. Lorsque le couvert de résidus se trouve dans les champs, l'augmentation de la diffusion volumétrique a un effet semblable et conduit aussi à des réponses supérieures en polarisation croisée. 3, record 1, French, - diffusion%20volum%C3%A9trique
