Abstract:

A computer code, RADOT, has been developed to track incident radar through forests consisting of realisitically simulated trees. RADOT fires parallel radar rays at the simulated forest and records information for all materials intersected between the origin and the ground. This information includes type of object branch, twig or leaf, its size and orientation parameters components of normal or axis vector and the depth. Radot has been successfully installed on the ETL CDC-6400 computer. Other versions, for IBM-360 or CDC-6600 computers are also available.
