The feasibility of an orbital mapping of heat flow by means of microwave radiometers is examined on the basis of a detailed model of the lunar regolith. The results obtained are discussed in terms of contributions of physical properties and regolith structure to the spectral signature of lunation-averaged brightness temperatures. Even for regions for which remote heat flow detection is not feasible, detailed interpretations of remote measurements in terms of physical properties and regolith structure could be made by means of the model presented. Surface and subsurface scattering effects are considered in evaluating possible wavelength dependencies of the microwave emissivity.
