InSAR-Based Mapping of Tidal Inundation Extent and Amplitude in Louisiana Coastal Wetlands
The Louisiana coast is among the most productive coastal areas in the US and home to the largest coastal wetland area in the nation. However, Louisiana coastal wetlands have been disappearing at an alarming rate due to natural and anthropogenic processes, including sea level rise, land subsidence and infrastructure development. Wetland loss occurs mainly along the tidal zone, which varies in wi...
متن کاملSmall Temporal Baseline Subset Analysis (stbas): an Insar Technique for Multi-temporal Water Level Monitoring in Wetlands
We present an InSAR technique called Small Temporal Baseline Subset (STBAS) for monitoring absolute water levels time series using radar interferograms acquired successively over wetlands. We tested the STBAS technique with two-year long Radarsat-1 data acquired over the Water Conservation Area 1 (WCA1) in the Everglades wetlands, south Florida (USA). The fine beam SAR data were acquired succes...
متن کاملToward Estimating Wetland Water Level Changes Based on Hydrological Sensitivity Analysis of PALSAR Backscattering Coefficients over Different Vegetation Fields
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has been successfully used to map wetland’s inundation extents and types of vegetation based on the fact that the SAR backscatter signal from the wetland is mainly controlled by the wetland vegetation type and water level changes. This study describes the relation between L-band PALSAR σ and seasonal water level changes obtained from Envisat altimetry over the isl...
متن کاملComparison of the Envisat Waveform Retrackers over Inland Waters
Since the launch of ENVISAT satellite in 2002, the Radar Altimetry Mission provides systematic altimeter observations of the Earth surface. The ENVISAT Geophysical Data Records products contain, over all type of surfaces, altimeter ranges derived from four specialized retrackers: Ocean, Ice-1, Ice-2 and Sea-Ice retracker. Among the different goals of the ENVISAT Mission, one directly concerns l...
متن کاملMapping of Ice Motion in Antarctica Using Synthetic-Aperture Radar Data
Ice velocity is a fundamental parameter in studying the dynamics of ice sheets. Until recently, no complete mapping of Antarctic ice motion had been available due to calibration uncertainties and lack of basic data. Here, we present a method for calibrating and mosaicking an ensemble of InSAR satellite measurements of ice motion from six sensors: the Japanese ALOS PALSAR, the European Envisat A...
