CLPX-Airborne: Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (AIRSAR) Imagery
Entry ID: NSIDC-0153

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (AIRSAR) is a side-looking imaging radar that is able to collect data irrespective of daylight or cloud cover. The AIRSAR instrument was operated in two modes over each Cold Land Processes Field Experiment (CLPX) Meso-cell Study Area (MSA). In the first mode (POLSAR), polarimetric radar data were collected at P-, L-, and C-bands. In the second mode (TOPSAR), ... View entire text
