Abstract
⺠A reflectivity map of Mars is obtained from the radar sounder SHARAD. ⺠We apply statistical models to retrieve surface roughness and dielectric constant. ⺠Scattering is the most important process dominating reflectivity over Mars. ⺠The non-stationary nature of most martian terrains is confirmed. ⺠RMS roughness can be obtained for slightly rough surfaces without any calibration.
