This paper is concerned with the theoretical model for short pulse scattering from a statistically random planar sufrace with particular applications to current state of the art radar altimetry. Two applications of the results are presented relative to radar alitmetry, namely, radar antenna pointing angle determination and altitude bias correction for pointing angle and surface roughness effects. It is also shown that these results have direct application to the analysis of the two frequency system proposed by Weissman, and a possible combined long pulse altimeter and two frequency system is suggested.
