Evaluating Simulated RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) Compact Polarimetry for Open-Water and Flooded-Vegetation Wetland Mapping [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2020
When severe flooding occurs in Canada, the Emergency Geomatics Service (EGS) is tasked with creating and disseminating maps that depict flood extents in near real time. EGS flood mapping methods were created with efficiency and robustness in mind, to allow maps to be published quickly, and therefore have the potential to generate high-repeat water ...

Mid-season Crop Classification Using Dual-, Compact-, and Full-Polarization in Preparation for the Radarsat Constellation Mission (RCM) [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2019
Despite recent research on the potential of dual- (DP) and full-polarimetry (FP) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data for crop mapping, the capability of compact polarimetry (CP) SAR data has not yet been thoroughly investigated. This is of particular concern, given the availability of such data from RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) shortly ...

Arctic Sea Ice Topography Information From RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Backscatter [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters
AbstractSea ice topography information can be obtained from altimetry but these data are spatially and temporally limited compared to recent synthetic aperture radar (SAR) missions such as the RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM). We analyze the relationship between sea ice roughness and height obtained from three Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation ...

Snow cover monitoring in the Arctic (Svalbard) with RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM). Comparison with in-situ measurements and TerraSAR-X data

, 2023
Arctic snow cover dynamics exhibit modification in terms of extent and duration due to recent changes in climate, i.e. increasing temperatures and changing precipitation patterns, i.e. winter rain-on-snow events (WROS). Remote sensing methods based on active radar images (SAR) have demonstrated a significant advantage for snow monitoring, (i) capturing

Moving to the RADARSAT Constellation Mission: Comparing Synthesized Compact Polarimetry and Dual Polarimetry Data with Fully Polarimetric RADARSAT-2 Data for Image Classification of Peatlands

Remote Sensing, 2017
For this research, the Random Forest (RF) classifier was used to evaluate the potential of simulated RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) data for mapping landcover within peatlands. Alfred Bog, a large peatland complex in Southern Ontario, was used as a

Sentinel-1 and RADARSAT Constellation Mission InSAR Assessment of Slope Movements in the Southern Interior of British Columbia, Canada

Remote Sensing, 2021
Landslides are the most common natural hazard in British Columbia. The province has recorded the largest number of historical landslide fatalities in Canada, and damage to infrastructure comes at a great cost. In order to understand the potential impacts

Wind Speed Retrieval from Simulated RADARSAT Constellation Mission Compact Polarimetry SAR Data for Marine Application

Remote Sensing, 2019
RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) compact polarimetry (CP) data were simulated using 504 RADARSAT-2 quad-pol SAR images. These images were used to samples CP data in three RCM modes to build a data set with co-located ocean wind vector observations ...

Ocean Wind Retrieval Models for RADARSAT Constellation Mission Compact Polarimetry SAR

Remote Sensing, 2018
We propose two new ocean wind retrieval models for right circular-vertical (RV) and right circular-horizontal (RH) polarizations respectively from the compact-polarimetry (CP) mode of the RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM), which is scheduled to be ...
