Nadir looking airborne radar and possible applications to forestry

It is shown that investigators can use an airborne radar with high range resolution to measure the height and planting density of trees in forests. Based on C-band, nadir looking airborne radar data from a site in Southwest France, a single-scattering model is developed and verified to aid in the interpretation of such data.
