  28. CONCLUSION • Thus, simultaneous and spatially coincident multi-frequency and multi-polarization measurements are an actual and significant tool to improve existed reflective and radiative transfer models of soil, snow, ice, soil vegetation and sea surface.

  29. Such measurements are an effective way: • forsolution of the problems applied to soil and snow moistures and temperatures precise and unambiguous retrievals. • for sea surface wind and wave fields parameters, sea temperature and salinity precise and unambiguous retrievals. • for detection and classification of soil and sea surface and sub-surface (underground) signatures and targets. • for soil vegetation classification and parameters evaluation, etc.

  30. This presentation has an aim as well to attract the attention of interested researchers to the existed experimental site and microwave devices (scatterometer-radiometer systems of S, C, Ku, K and Ka-band of frequencies), and to invite them to use these devices in their field campaigns or to perform joint researches using available devices, measuring and calibration facilities of our Company.
