摘要：
We applied the Santa Barbara canopy backscatter model to model radar backscatter from mangrove forest stands in the Ganges delta of southern Bangladesh, and assessed the feasibility of delineating flooding boundaries within the stands. Modelled L-band (0.235 m wavelength) HH backscatter showed that canopy volume scattering dominated for stands under nonflooded ground surface. Double bounce trunk-ground term were enhanced by the presence of water under trees. For flooded mangrove forest, the trunk-ground term was dominant at small radar incidence angles; the trunk-ground term dominancy reduced as the incidence angle increased. Shuttle Imaging Radar (SIR-B) data and model results showed that for the mangrove forest, radar data with small incidence angles should be used to delineate the flooding boundaries.
