The analysis of satellite radar images of the ice cover meromictic soda lake Doroninskoye, located in Trans-Baikal region, were carried out. At the same time land microwave measurements of the snow-ice cover of the lake and their hydrologic parameters were studied. The measurements of relative power backscattering on the tracks using microwave instruments mounted at the car were carried out also. It was detected spotted structure of the radio images due to accumulation of salts in the surface layer of ice.
