COMPARISON OF THE USE OF SENTINEL-1 SAR AND ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 IN MANGROVE ABOVEGROUND BIOMASS ESTIMATION IN SAN JUAN, BATANGAS, PHILIPPINES [PDF]
This study compares the potential of Sentinel-1 and ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 in estimating mangrove aboveground biomass (AGB) in San Juan, Batangas, Philippines. Mangrove forests are essential coastal ecosystems that are facing growing threats.

SUMMARY OF NATURAL DISASTER RESPONSES BY THE ADVANCED LAND OBSERVING SATELLITE-2 (ALOS-2) [PDF]
The Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 (ALOS-2) was launched on May 24, 2014, and it is operating very well in space more than 4.5 years. The designed mission life is five years as nominal operational phase and the target is over seven years since ...

Calibration and Validation of Polarimetric ALOS2-PALSAR2
PALSAR2 polarimetric distortion matrix is measured using corner reflectors deployed in the Amazonian forest. The Amazonian forest near the geomagnetic equator provides ideal sites for the assessment of L-band PALSAR2 antenna parameters, at free Faraday ...

Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) for Monitoring Seasonal Snow
Abstract Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) offers a potential pathway for measuring seasonal snow water equivalent (SWE) and snow depth at spatial and temporal scales needed for basin‐scale hydrology. First proposed for seasonal snow more than 25 years ago, InSAR uses repeat‐pass radar phase differences to estimate changes in SWE or ...

Analysis of Slow-moving Landslide-Prone Areas in Gangwon State Using C-band and L-band InSAR [PDF]
This study constructed slope displacement data for the Gangwon State by applying persistent scatterer (PS) and distributed scatterer (DS) synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) time-series analysis to Sentinel-1 C-band and ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 L-band

Abstract The land absorbs a large proportion of human‐induced carbon emissions, yet the spatial distribution of this carbon sink remains uncertain. Land surface models (LSMs) and atmospheric inversions often diverge on the spatial distribution of carbon sink, with models generally underestimating the northern land sink (above 30°N).
