RADAR return strength is dependent on the surface roughness relative to the wavelength and the electrical characteristics (dielectric constant, which is the electrical energy that is stored, absorbed, and conducted by the surface). C-Band wavelengths are about 3-8 cm. Additional information available at http://southport.jpl.nasa.gov/ [Summary provided by NASA] |
