Code 11.1 2 S2RT/R Backscattering from Rayleigh Layer with Diffuse Upper Boundary 

 This module computes the backscattering coefficient, σ0, for a weakly scattering Rayleigh layer with albedo a ≤ 0.2. The layer is The layer is above a ground surface characterized by the PRISM model with an exponential correlation function. The dielectric constant of the surface can be specified, ϵ = ϵ' -j ϵ'', as well as the rms height, frequency, single-scattering albedo, layer thickness, and the extinction coefficient.
