Abstract.
Principal possibilities of passive remote sounding
in millimeter wavelength region for determine of scattering characteristics and
thermodynamic temperature of Earth’s surface top layer and also identification
of natural objects by using of spectral features of atmospheric incident
radiation are considered.
