Cand Ku-band scatterometer backscatter time series are analysed and compared to meteorological data for two biomes, the African Steppe and the Scandinavian Boreal Forest. Observed characteristics of large scale scattering are inferred and discussed.

1 distance ku vk is 1. For brevity, we will also write uv instead of {u, v} for the edge between u and v (note that uv = vu). The boundary @G of G is the set of those vertices u in V for which there is a v 2 Z2 \ V with ku vk = 1. We associate to G a space of spin configurations ⌦G = { 1,+1}V . For 2 ⌦G , v denotes the spin at v. Sometimes we impose positive boundary conditions, meaning that we...

Abstract. Let G be a step-two nilpotent group of H-type with Lie algebra G = V ⊕ t. We define a class of vector fields X = {Xj} on G depending on a real parameter k ≥ 1, and we consider the corresponding p-Laplacian operator Lp,ku = divX(|∇Xu| ∇Xu). For k = 1 the vector fields X = {Xj} are the left invariant vector fields corresponding to an orthonormal basis of V , for k = 2 and G being the He...
