Abstract: To date, few polarimetric weather radars have exhibited the capability to measure full scattering matrices. In contrast, in the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) community, considerable experience has been gained in dealing with complete scattering matrices and their statistical behavior. This paper aims to place weather radar parameters in a wider context in order to exploit more general concepts like target decomposition theorems and polarization basis transformations. Entropy, which is a fully polarimetric variable derived from the Cloude-Potti...
