Reply To: What is Radar Backscatter?

[Liliana Carolina Castillo Villamor]

Hi Everyone,

I have a question related to the probability density function of the backscatter pixels in an area considered homogenous. I’ve read that they follow a Gamma distribution, however, for Sentinel-1, I would like to know if the gamma distribution only describes homogeneous areas using Single Look Complex (SLC) products or also GRD products as delivered by GEE. Thanks in advance for any help. Liliana
