The Theory and approaches are briefly summerized.To quantitatively understand scattering and thermal emission from targets in active and passive remote sensing, we have developed an overall vector radiative transfer theory for a set of theoretical models of discrete scatterer and continuous random media for the earth terrain (wet soil, vegetation, snow, sea-ice, etc.) and atmosphere, and numerical approaches for simulation, data analysis, and parameter sensitivity test. Our numerical results favorably agreed with experimental data in microwave re mote sensing of various earth surfaces. Main approaches are briefly summerized herewith.展开更多
