Abstract: To meet requirement for measurement and detection of target buried partially beneath a rough surface, rough snow surface and soil surface is simulated in model of exponential type distribution rough surface with Monte Carlo method. Wide-band composite scattering from rough soil surface covered with snow and a column with rectangular cross-section buried partially is studied using finite difference time domain(FDTD). Frequency responses of wide-band composite scattering coefficient is obtained. Wide-band composite scattering coefficients varying with root-mean-square and correlation length of rough snow surface and soil surface, type of snow, thickness of snow layer, moisture capacity of soil, geometric parameter, tilt angle and buried depth of column and incident angle of electromagnetic wave are calculated. It shows that influences of root-mean-square and correlation length of rough snow surface on wide-band composite scattering coefficient are unobvious, but influences of other parameters on wide-band composite scattering coefficient are remarkable and complex.

Key words: FDTD, wide-band composite scattering, snow surface, soil surface, column with rectangular cross-section
