摘要： This article attempts to examine the Brewster effect of incoherent scattering from a lossy inhomogeneous rough surface with a vertical dielectric profile. Five typical dielectric profiles are selected for the purpose of illustration. In calculating the reflection coefficients, a transition model is used to convert the angle of incidence to local incidence, which accounts for the surface roughness. Numerical results show that the Brewster angle gradually moves to the large incident angle with an increase in the background dielectric constant and in the surface root-mean-squared (rms) height. The angular dependence of reflection coefficients, both the level and the trend, is slightly affected by the correlation length. The scattering strength is much more sensitive to the rms height than to the correlation length. The results could be useful in the retrieval of vertical soil moisture content when proper radar observation is available.
