Spectral gradient of lunar radiobrightness: Heat flow or volume scattering?
July 1, 1978
Lunar heat flow cannot be derived unambiguously from the spectral gradient of the radiobrightness. Volume scattering of microwaves by rock clasts within the lunar regolith results in a spectral component in the 5- to 30-centimeter range of wavelengths that is a significant fraction of that resulting from lunar heat flow.
