These activities include: (a) establishing observational requirements in consultation with the user communities; (b) understanding VHF/UHF wave penetration, propagation and scattering within the subsurface medium; (c) designing radar payloads and satellite systems which respond to the observation requirements; (d) developing data processing algorithms for enhancing resolution and sensitivity. The BIOMASS P-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) mission, a candidate among the ESA's future Earth Explorer missions, represents a unique opportunity for exploring ice-sheet of Antarctica and Greenland from space.
