  abstract = {{I}n this paper, we derive an expression of the brightness temperatures of a vegetated surface based on the tau-omega model with the rough surface boundary condition that replaces the conventional exp(-h) model by {NMM}3{D} ({N}umerical {S}imulations of 3{D} {M}axwell equations). {A} purpose of the paper is that the same physical rough surface scattering model based on {NMM}3{D} and the same physical paramters of rms heights and correlation lengths can be used for both passive and active remote sensing of the same scene of vegetated surfaces. {T}he bistatic scattering of rough surfaces are decomposed into the coherent wave and the co-polarization and the cross-polarization of the incoherent waves to quantify the contribution of each of these components. {N}umerical results are illustrated for a variety of roughness conditions. {C}omparisons are made with the exp(-h) model. {R}esults are compared with the experimental passive measurements of {PORTOS} 1993 for bare soil cases. {D}ata cubes for grassland are calculated for both active and passive signatures at {L} band. {C}omparisons are then made with the {L} band {PALS} data for the grassland of {SGP}99 using these data cubes.},
