DESCRIPTION:
"Over the last decade the field of spaceborne imaging
radar remote sensing has advanced to the point where many new applications have
become possible. Synthetic aperture radar with its all-weather and day-night capability
has become one of the most sophisticated technologies for earth and planetary
observation. The deployment of advanced experimental systems has allowed radar
imaging data to feed into the analysis of environmental and geophysical
problems: whether agricultural, land use, forestry, hydrology, geology, mineral
exploration, urbanization, archaeology, natural hazards, oceanography or global
change.
This atlas provides a set of examples of high
quality remote sensing work carried out with this leading technology in China,
under the auspices of the Institute of Remote Sensing Applications of the
Chinese Academy of Sciences, and in collaboration with the USA, European Space
Agency, Japan and the former USSR. These examples are discussed, compared with
ground truth, and analyzed. It includes applications, data analysis, algorithm
development, modeling and backscatter behavior analysis."
