Forest anisotropy assessment by means of spatial variations analysis of PolSAR backscattering [PDF]
The possibility to synthesize polarization response from earth covers at any desired combination of transmit and receive antenna polarizations is the significant advantage of polarimetric radar.

Abstract Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate and sea level. This region has multiple tipping mechanisms that could trigger large, rapid, and potentially irreversible changes in the AIS ...

INDREX-II - Tropical Forest Height Estimation with L- and P-Band Polarimetric Interferometric SAR [PDF]
Tropical forests are complex, heterogeneous, dense, remote and changing forest ecosystems. Low frequency synthetic aperture Radar (SAR) techniques allow monitoring and potentially estimation of key forest parameters such as vertical structure (height ...

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 ...

Classification of Biological Scatters Using Polarimetric Weather Radar
Weather radar holds the capability to monitor the extensive migration of bird and insect species. In particular, polarimetric weather radar can enhance aerial ecological monitoring by quantifying target shape through the measurement of polarization ...

Simulation of polarimetric radar variables in rain at S-, C- and X-band wavelengths [PDF]
Polarimetric radar variables of rainfall events, like differential reflectivity <i>Z</i><sub>DR</sub>, or specific differential phase <i>K</i><sub>DP</sub>, are better suited for estimating rain rate <i ...

Dual-polarization radar rainfall estimation in Korea according to raindrop shapes obtained by using a 2-D video disdrometer [PDF]
Polarimetric measurements are sensitive to the sizes, concentrations, orientations, and shapes of raindrops. Thus, rainfall rates calculated from polarimetric radar are influenced by the raindrop shapes and canting.

Near‐Surface Ocean Current and Its Response to Wind Forcing
Abstract Ocean currents near the air‐sea interface are critical for understanding boundary layer processes and advancing coupled models. The near‐surface currents mediate air–sea fluxes and govern the transport of buoyant materials, yet the uppermost meter of the ocean remains sparsely observed and poorly represented in models.

Polarimetric Differential-TomoSAR Imaging [PDF]
Recently, in parallel to the maturation of the operative InSAR techniques based on phase-only data, much interest has grown in techniques based on the coherent combination of SAR images at the complex (amplitude and phase) data level, for the extraction ...
