13. These authors have described the total backscattered intensity in terms of the sum of a coherent intensity arising from an absorbing medium and a diffuse intensity from a non-absorbing medium. As the intensity reduces with absorption, the coherent contribution becomes lesser reducing the enhancement factor in their expression. The single scattering contribution was not included either.
