TerraSAR-X TOPSAR and ScanSAR comparison
TOPSAR is a recently proposed SAR mode for wide swath acquisition, which is intended to replace the conventional ScanSAR mode. TOPSAR will be used by the ESA Sentinel-1 SAR sensor in its main interferometric wide swath mode. TerraSAR-X has demonstrated the TOPSAR mode in space by acquiring and processing TOPSAR images for the first time. The paper reports the results of the image scalloping ana...
متن کاملFirst TOPSAR image and interferometry results with TerraSAR-X
TOPSAR is a recently proposed SAR mode for wide swath acquisition, which is foreseen to be used by the ESA Sentinel-1 SAR sensor in its main interferometric wide swath mode. The Microwaves and Radar Institute of the German Aerospace Center is validating TOPSAR mode in space with TerraSAR-X data within the framework of an ESA commissioned project. Several TOPSAR images have been successfully com...
متن کاملAdvancements for Snowmelt Monitoring by Means of Sentinel-1 SAR
The Sentinel satellite constellation series, developed and operated by the European Space Agency, represents the dedicated space component of the European Copernicus program, committed to long-term operational services in environment, climate and security. We developed, tested and evaluated an algorithm for generating maps of snowmelt area from C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data of the ...
متن کاملThe Potential of Sentinel-1 for Monitoring Soil Moisture with a High Spatial Resolution at Global Scale
The European Space Agency is currently developing Sentinel-1, a constellation of two polar-orbiting C-band radar satellites for operational Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) applications. The Sentinel-1 mission is designed for continuous and operational monitoring. The goal is to map the European land mass once every four days in Interferometric Wide Swath (IWS) mode, and the global land surface a...
متن کاملThe Sentinel-1 Mission: New Opportunities for Ice Sheet Observations
The Sentinel satellite constellation series, developed by the European Space Agency, represents the dedicated space component of the European Copernicus program, committed to long-term operational services in a wide range of application domains. Here, we address the potential of the Sentinel-1 mission for mapping and monitoring the surface velocity of glaciers and ice sheets. We present an ice ...
