International audience This paper describes a methodology to detect and characterize the ionospheric activity thanks to spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) measurements. This strategy is based on the Faraday rotation (FR) estimation which leads to the Total Electron Content (TEC) quantificatio...
