In this paper, evaluation results are presented for multi-temporal interferometric coherence analysis using a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for damage assessment in an urban area. The latest space-borne SARs potentially have a high enough spatial resolution to assess individual buildings. However, interferometric coherence analysis has not been evaluated for its limitation in sensitivity and s...

Plasma density irregularities in the equatorial ionosphere are thought to cause distortions of L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images, which have been observed recent years, but origin image distortion has not yet clearly identified experimentally. We report on first simultaneous observation plasma bubbles (EPBs) by ALOS-2/PALSAR-2 satellite and ground 630-nm airglow imager northern Brazi...

The Australian governmental agencies reported a total of 149 million ha forest in the Food and Agriculture Organization United Nations (FAO) 2010, ranking sixth world, which is based on definition with tree height &gt; 2</mml...

SAR image acquired in the nighttime (10:30 PM local time) at the magnetic equatorial regions, i.e., Amazon, Africa, and the south East Asian areas, are often interfered by the streaks since the ALOS launch of the Jan. 24, 2006. These streaks appear both in amplitude image and phase of the SAR data, which contain the interferometric fringe and polarimetric phase. JAXA/EORC is conducting the quic...
