The factor that expresses the attenuation caused by scattering, e.g., of radiant or acoustic energy, during its passage through a medium.
Note: The scattering coefficient is usually expressed in units of reciprocal distance.

The area of an incident wavefront, at a reflecting surface or medium, such as an object in space, through which will pass radiant energy, that, if isotropically scattered from that point, would produce the same power at a given receiver as is actually provided by the entire reflecting surface. [From Weik '89]

The part of the transmission (power) loss that results from scattering within a transmission medium or from roughness of a reflecting surface.

To search, without authorization, through residual data to acquire sensitive information. [2382-pt.8]

Searching through object residue to acquire data. [INFOSEC-99]

Abbreviation for specialized common carrier.
