for "backscattering coefficient" : Backscattering also plays a part in the reception of radio waves, where it is commonly expressed in terms of a coefficient, which is said to measure the "echoing area." (...) For large objects, the backscattering coefficient of an object is approximately the product of its interception area by its scattering gain in the direction of the source, where the interception area is the projected geometrical area and the scattering gain is the reradiated power gain relative to an isotropic radiator.  2, record 1, English, - backward%20scattering%20coefficient

A microwave radar signal is emitted from an antenna installed aboard a satellite or an airplane. The signal is reflected by the objects on the ground. The resulting backscattering coefficient is influenced by the surface roughness and the dielectric properties of the objects.  2, record 2, English, - backscattering%20coefficient

L'intensité d'une image radar [...] est liée au coefficient de rétrodiffusion, c'est-à-dire la capacité des surfaces à renvoyer les ondes radar vers l'antenne du radar. Le coefficient de rétrodiffusion est un indicateur de la rugosité des surfaces et de leur humidité.  2, record 2, French, - coefficient%20de%20r%C3%A9trodiffusion

Le coefficient de rétrodiffusion radar est un des paramètres mesurables sur une image radar. [...] Sur une surface inondée (présence d'eau libre), la réflexion du signal est spéculaire et l'intensité rétrodiffusée quasiment nulle. Par contre, pour un sol partiellement saturé, plus la teneur en eau est élevée, plus la constante diélectrique est grande, donc moins l'onde pénètre dans le sol et plus l'intensité rétrodiffusée est forte.  3, record 2, French, - coefficient%20de%20r%C3%A9trodiffusion
