A scattering model for a plane dense medium layerembeded with randomly located small spherical scatterers was
developed. The effects of close spacing between the Scatterers were included in the developed phase matrix by
keeping the range-dependent terms in the scattered fields expressions. The
derived phase matrix was then used in the radiative transfer
formulation to model the scattering from a dense medium layer
The model was used in the calculations of backscattering
coefficients of multi Year Arctic sea ice.
