Scientific paper

The Cassini spacecraft payload includes a Radar instrument that measures both the backscatter (σ0) and polarized thermal emission of Titan's surface at 2-cm wavelength. Active and/or passive observations were made during most of the 71 Titan passes in the 6-year span of the Prime and Equinox Cassini tours. The radiometric data have been combined into complementary maps of radiometric brightness and effective surface dielectric constant, each of which now covers almost all of the surface. These will be compared with the radar reflectivity and interpreted in terms of surface properties of Titan's diverse terrains.
