Abstract
Three satellites of Jupiter, Callisto, Ganymede and Europa, give anomalous radar returns. We show here that this behaviour would arise as a consequence of ‘refraction scattering’ rather than the familiar ‘reflection scattering’ and discuss mechanisms that lead to the predominance of such scattering on these satellites.
