Estimation of Forest Biomass from Estar Image Data

Image data from L-band airborne radiometer measurements over conifer forest stands in southern Virginia USA have shown a strong sensitivity to biomass and a weaker sensitivity to soil moisture. The data, was obtained by the horizontally polarized synthetic aperture radiometer, ESTAR, deployed aboard a NASA P3 aircraft. The data was acquired in July, August and November of 1999. The imaged regio...

ESTAR measurements during the Southern Great Plains experiment (SGP99)

During the Southern Great Plains experiment, the synthetic aperture radiometer, ESTAR, mapped L-band brightness temperature over a swath about 50 km wide and about 300 km long extending west from Oklahoma City to El Reno and north from the Little Washita River watershed to the Kansas border. ESTAR flew on the NASA P-3B Orion aircraft at an altitude of 7.6 km and maps were made on 7 days between...
