Self-Organization Characteristics of Lunar Regolith Inferred by Yutu-2 Lunar Penetrating Radar [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2021
Most previous studies tend to simplify the lunar regolith as a homogeneous medium. However, the lunar regolith is not completely homogeneous, because there are weak reflections from the lunar regolith layer.
