The TanDEM-X DEM is a valuable data source for estimating glacier mass balance. However, the accuracy of TanDEM-X elevation over glaciers can be affected by microwave penetration and phase decorrelation.

TanDEM-X commissioning phase status [PDF]
After the recent launch of the TanDEM-X satellite, the twin of TerraSAR-X, its demanding commissioning phase has started. On the one hand, it has to ensure the same monostatic operation performance as TerraSAR-X. On the other hand, the bistatic aspects have to be verified, which are essential for the acquisition of the global digital elevation model ...

Decorrelation effects in bistatic TanDEM-X data [PDF]
The TanDEM-X mission comprises two nearly identical satellites: TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X. The primary objective of the mission is the generation of a worldwide and consistent digital elevation model (DEM) with an unprecedented accuracy. The two satellites fly in a close orbit configuration and act as a large single-pass radar interferometer with the ...

TanDEM-X: DEM Calibration Concept [PDF]
The TanDEM-X mission will derive a global digital elevation model (DEM) with satellite SAR interferometry. The aimed accuracies are an absolute height error of 10 m and a relative height error of 2 m for 90% of the data. This requires a correction of the elevation heights after interferometric processing by residual systematic DEM errors.

Bistatic SAR experiments with the TanDEM-X constellation [PDF]
Launched in June 2010, TanDEM-X is an interferometric mission with the main goal of providing a high-resolution, global and unprecedentedly accurate digital elevation model (DEM) of the Earth by means of single-pass X-band SAR interferometry. Despite its usual quasi-monostatic configuration, TanDEM-X is the first genuinely bistatic SAR system in space.

Monitoring the Petermann ice island with TanDEM-X [PDF]
This paper presents the processing of TanDEM-X acquisitions for the monitoring of the topography of the Petermann ice island. In this particular case the area under study is continuously moving and the acquisition geometry is changing, so the processing of the iceberg's DEMs is challenging and additional effects are to be considered. The SAR processing

TanDEM-X mission: Overview, challenges and status [PDF]
TanDEM-X (TerraSAR-X add-on for Digital Elevation Measurement) opens a new era in spaceborne radar remote sensing [1]-[3], [9], [12]. A single-pass SAR interferometer with adjustable baselines in across- and in along-track directions was formed by adding a second (TDX), almost identical spacecraft to TerraSAR-X (TSX) and flying the two satellites in a ...
