•When the radiation is scattered<br />

back in the direction from which it<br />

originates, the probability of further<br />

interaction with the canopy is lower<br />

than in other scattering directions.<br />

•In case of RS measurements<br />

outside the canopy, this give rise to<br />

a relative increase in the value in<br />

the backscattering direction which<br />

is knows as the hot-spot<br />

phenomenon.<br />
