Development and Initial Evaluation of the Tower-based Borealscat-2 P- and L-Band Tomographic SAR
This paper describes the development and initial evaluation of the BorealScat-2 radar. It is installed on a 50 m tall tower at a boreal forest site in northern Sweden and acquires tomographic and multi-polarization measurements at P- and L-band every 5 min. It is of the same design as its predecesso...
