About the decomposition of SAR data

Why the results of Cloude decomposition are abl, vol and surf? Shouldn’t the results be entropy, anisotropy and alpha?

The original Cloude decomposition gives surface, dihedral and volume scattering.

If you need entropy, anisotropy and alpha you have to run the Cloude-Pottier decomposition (In SNAP H-A-Alpha Quad Pol Decomposition

thx!!!I got it
