Text: "Synthetic-aperture radar gives unexpected views of the ocean floor." Anomalous penetration of L-band radar energy through the ocean. Includes a Seasat satellite photograph of the ocean bottom. The satellite's motion creates a very long antenna, acting sometimes as an integrating scalar interferometer, thus detecting scalar waves. Popular Science. Sept. 1982. p. 96.
