On the Sensitivity of TanDEM-X-Observations to Boreal Forest Structure
The structure of forests is important to observe for understanding coupling to global dynamics of ecosystems, biodiversity, and management aspects. In this paper, the sensitivity of X-band to boreal forest stem volume and to vertical and horizontal ...

The TanDEM-X mission (TerraSAR-X add-on for Digital Elevation Measurement) consists of two almost iden-tical satellites, TerraSAR-X (TSX) and TanDEM-X (TDX), launched in 2006 and 2010 respectively. They form a single-pass SAR interferometer with adjustable baselines in cross and along-track directions.

TanDEM-X: Mission Status and Science Activities
The paper provides an up to date overview of the German TanDEM-X satellite mission status and its ongoing science activities. The global digital elevation model (DEM) of TanDEM-X became available in 2016 and surpassed all expectations: It has 99.9% coverage, 12-m posting, absolute height accuracy of approximately 1 m and a relative height error ...

Potentials of TanDEM-X Interferometric Data for Global Forest/Non-Forest Classification [PDF]
This paper presents a method to generate forest/nonforest maps from TanDEM-X interferometric SAR data. Among the several contributions which may affect the quality of interferometric products, the coherence loss caused by volume scattering represents the
