A Hybrid Model for Interferometric and Polarimetric P-band Sar Imaging of Forests
In this paper, a forward model for extended covariance matrix prediction for boreal and hemi-boreal forest in Pband SAR is presented. The main product is the extended covariance matrix scaled to sigma nought on the diagonal. The input parameters consist of basic radar setup, topography, forest biome, biomass, and some model parameters. Backscatter intensities for HH, VV, and HV channels are pre...
متن کاملAirborne S-Band SAR for Forest Biophysical Retrieval in Temperate Mixed Forests of the UK
Radar backscatter from forest canopies is related to forest cover, canopy structure and aboveground biomass (AGB). The S-band frequency (3.1–3.3 GHz) lies between the longer L-band (1–2 GHz) and the shorter C-band (5–6 GHz) and has been insufficiently studied for forest applications due to limited data availability. In anticipation of the British built NovaSAR-S satellite mission, this study ev...
متن کاملAn L-band geophysical model function for SAR wind retrieval using JERS-1 SAR
An L-band geophysical model function is developed using Japanese Earth Resources Satellite-1 (JERS-1) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. First, we estimate the SAR system noise, which has been a serious problem peculiar to the JERS-1 SAR. It is found that the system noise has a feature common in all the SAR images and that the azimuth-averaged profile of noise can be expressed as a parabolic ...
متن کاملIncreasing turnover through time in tropical forests.
Tree turnover rates were assessed at 40 tropical forest sites. Averaged across inventoried forests, turnover, as measured by tree mortality and recruitment, has increased since the 1950s, with an apparent pantropical acceleration since 1980. Among 22 mature forest sites with two or more inventory periods, forest turnover also increased. The trend in forest dynamics may have profound effects on ...
متن کاملBiomass Retrieval in Topographic Boreal Forest using Polarimetric and Tomographic SAR in P- and L-band
Forests and their associated habitats are an integral part of Earth’s biosphere and provide essential environmental services. There is an ever present need for accurate and economic monitoring of forest parameters such as biomass of great interest both locally, for forest management and resource utilization, and globally as it represents stored atmospheric CO2 and one of the largest uncertainti...
