Radar altimetry backscattering signatures at Ka, Ku, C, and S bands over West Africa

•Comparisons of radar altimetry backscattering responses at Ka, Ku, C and S-bands.•Stable responses over stone and sand deserts and non-inundated tropical forests.•Variable responses over savannas along hydrological and vegetation cycles.•Radar altimetry echoes can be used to detect soil moisture an...
