Summary:
There are various spaceborne SARs in operation now. It is expected that high-frequency and high-resolution SARs will become successful in the future. On the other hand, the influence of rain on measurement cannot be ignored, especially in the case of intense rain as the observation frequency increases[1]. Evaluation of these influences becomes an important issue for the accurate polarimetric SAR observation. The purpose of this paper is to consider the radio wave of polarimetric SAR propagation in rain and to verify the influence of the rainfall quantitatively.
