•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 />
