Abstract:
In preparation for the first European Earth Remote Sensing ERS-1 mission, a series of multitemporal, multifrequency, multipolarization aircraft synthetic aperture radar SAR data sets were acquired over the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest near Fairbanks, Alaska in March 1988. Significant change in radar backscatter was observed over the two-week experimental period due to changing environmental conditions. These preliminary results are presented to illustrate the opportunity afforded by the ERS-1 SAR to monitor temporal change in forest ecosystems.
