Ganymede - Radar surface characteristics
Abstract
Radar observations of Ganymede at X band show that the surface is unusually bright and has unusual polarization properties. A model of the surface based on large numbers of random ice facets (hence vacuum-ice interfaces) is able to account for these characteristics.
