Description
Summary:This dataset contains the processed, backscatter data from Radarsat-2 (RSAT-2) satellite data, as part of Environment and Climate Change Canada's 2018-2019 Trail Valley Creek Snow Experiment (TVC Experiment 18/19). These RSAT-2 data were collected and processed evaluate against a network of Steven’s HydraProbe soil monitoring sensors, and coincident in situ snowpit measurements, airborne radar, and other satellite radar data to better understand soil-snow-radar interactions in a tundra environment. The RSAT-2 data was ordered to provide wintertime coverage from September 2018 to July 2019, over the Trail Valley Creek research station (https://www.trailvalleycreek.ca/) in Northwest Territories, Canada. Three periods of in situ snow measurement took place in November 2018, January 2019, and March 2019. RSAT-2 data was acquired in Wide Fine Quad mode HH+HV+VH+VV. The RSAT-2 products were processed using the European Space Agency’s (ESA), Sentinel Application Platform (SNAP) software which included image ... : RADARSAT-2 Data and Products © MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd.
