Scintillation:
• Interaction of ionosphere with radio waves alters the wave properties• Background electrons
• Short-duration, high-intensity Ionospheric Scintillations
• High priority due to its significant impact on satellite radio, GPS communication, etc.
• Observed in low-frequency (L- and P-bands) SAR signals

Conclusion:
• SAR can be helpful in augmenting and complementing GPS in scintillation studies
• Demerit: SAR image pair with unchanged background• Need: simple identification techniques
• Coeff. of Variation of Intensity is not a good measure• Introduction of Total Power and Depolarized Power measures
• Varying response of SAR RCS to scintillation may be explained by many factors
