Microwave emission from the moon
Abstract
Measurements of the microwave emission from the moon and their interpretation in terms of the thermophysics of that body are reviewed. Variations of the brightness temperatures of the moon during a lunation and during eclipses when combined with infrared and radar measurements yield a precise set of physical parameters for the upper few meters of the lunar soil. These parameters include the density, thermal conductivity, dielectric constant, radio absorption coefficients, and the mean temperature gradiant.
