Abstract
Specular reflection is a bright spot of intensity observed when light is reflected by cirrus clouds, snow blankets, and wavy water surfaces. The analytical expressions, which combine specular scattering on particulate media and rough surfaces, are obtained. The conditions, which allow the identification of the scattering media from the differential cross-section, have been determined for remote sensing applications.
