Abstract
Using the dissipation‐fluctuation approach, the brightness temperature of a stratified medium with inhomogeneous permittivities and nonuniform temperature profiles is solved. The solution is expressed in closed form ready for machine computation. Numerical results are illustrated and compared with closed‐form analytical solutions and results obtained from the WKB method for simple profiles.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
