In this paper we discuss characteristic properties of radar signatures of oceanic and atmospheric convection features in the Greenland Sea. If the water surface is clean (no surface films or ice coverage), oceanic and atmospheric features can become ...

The RADARSAT-2 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) processor processes RADARSAT-2 signal data into georeferenced and geocoded imagery. The processor is a subsystem of the RADARSAT-2 ground segment and is referred to as the processing and distribution subsystem (PDS).

Retrieval and Attribution of Tropical Cyclone Vertical Tilt From SAR and Infrared Satellite Imagery
Abstract Tropical cyclones (TCs) are destructive natural hazards, and their vertical tilt, defined as the displacement between the sea surface center and cloud top center, plays a key role in storm structure and intensity changes. This study constructed a global satellite‐based tilt data set from 1,024 paired synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and infrared

Assessment of the X- and C-Band Polarimetric SAR Data for Plastic-Mulched Farmland Classification
We present a classification of plastic-mulched farmland (PMF) and other land cover types using full polarimetric RADARSAT-2 data and dual polarimetric (HH, VV) TerraSAR-X data, acquired from a test site in Hebei, China, where the main land covers include

The RADARSAT-2 ground segment has been designed based on the need to support the advanced capabilities of the RADARSAT-2 spacecraft, the need to support a commercial mission with increased data and order volumes, and the body of experience and lessons learned from the operation of the RADARSAT-1 mission. The design was produced in consultation with the

Synoptic Controls of Extreme Ice Area Flux Events Along Nares Strait
Abstract Nares Strait, the channel between Ellesmere Island and northwest Greenland, connects the Arctic Ocean's Lincoln Sea to northern Baffin Bay. The transport of thick, multi‐year sea ice southward down the Strait contributes to the overall loss of this important ice class from the Arctic.

Marine added-value products by RADARSAT-2 fine quad-polarization
In this paper the high-quality performance of fine quad-polarimetric RADARSAT-2 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data is shown as the basis for new enhanced value-added products for remote sensing marine applications. A unitary physical model, based on the

Determining the soil moisture in agricultural fields is a significant parameter to use irrigation systems efficiently. In contrast to standard soil moisture measurements, good results might be acquired in a shorter time over large areas by remote sensing

Abstract Few multi‐year observations of CO2 gas exchange exist over melting first year sea ice (FYI). We report 4 years of CO2 flux data during the melt season in Dease Strait, Nunavut, Canada. Utilizing a dried, closed‐path eddy covariance system on an island within the strait, we identify two statistically distinct CO2 flux melt regimes: a pre‐pond ...
