RAMP AMM-1 SAR Image Mosaic of Antarctica
Entry ID:
NSIDC-0103
Summary
Abstract:
In 1997, the Canadian RADARSAT-1 satellite was rotated in orbit, so that its synthetic aperture radar (SAR) antenna looked south towards Antarctica. This permitted the first high-resolution mapping of the entire continent of Antarctica. In eighteen days, the satellite acquired a complete coverage of radar image swaths as part of the first Antarctic Mapping Mission (AMM-1). Swath images have been ...
