Forest biomass change estimated from height change in interferometric SAR height models
BACKGROUND There is a need for new satellite remote sensing methods for monitoring tropical forest carbon stocks. Advanced RADAR instruments on board satellites can contribute with novel methods. RADARs can see through clouds, and furthermore, by applying stereo RADAR imaging we can measure forest height and its changes. Such height changes are related to carbon stock changes in the biomass. We...
متن کاملInterferometric SAR DEMs for Forest Change in Uganda 2000-2012
Monitoring changes in forest height, biomass and carbon stock is important for understanding the drivers of forest change, clarifying the geography and magnitude of the fluxes of the global carbon budget and for providing input data to REDD+. The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of covering these monitoring needs using InSAR DEM changes over time and associated estimat...
متن کاملTree Height Estimation from Multi-temporal Ers Sar Interferometric Phase
Multi-temporal sets of ERS-1/2 SAR interferometric (InSAR) phase have been evaluated at several test sites in Europe for tree height estimation. Atmospheric artefacts affected a large number of image pairs. These were generally well compensated in case of large-scale artefacts over small forests, whereas for large forests their effect could only be assessed. Hence, the amount of pairs utilizabl...
متن کاملOn forest height retrieval from spaceborne X-band interferometric SAR images under variable seasonal conditions
This paper discusses the possibility to use spaceborne X-band radar interferometry for forest height mapping. In our previous works was shown that airborne X-band SAR interferometry combined with accurate ground elevation model can provide good estimates of boreal forest height. In order to apply this technique to spaceborne SAR images, temporal variability of the scattering and lower signal to...
متن کاملMeasurements of Forest Biomass Change Using L-band Sar Backscatter
Three-year forest above-ground biomass change is to be measured using L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) backscatter. Measurements are also made using P-band backscatter for comparison. The radar data were collected in the airborne BioSAR 2007 and BioSAR 2010 campaigns over the hemiboreal Remningstorp test site in southern Sweden. Regression models for biomass will be developed using referen...
