A temporal assessment of fully polarimetric multifrequency SAR observations over the Canadian permafrost

In the frame of the PermASAR campaign, DLR’s F-SAR instrument collected valuable multifrequency fully-polarimetric acquisitions in summer 2018 and winter 2019 over several permafrost regions in Canada. The present study proposes a first polarimetric analysis over Trail Valley Creek – one of the test...

Description
Summary:In the frame of the PermASAR campaign, DLR’s F-SAR instrument collected valuable multifrequency fully-polarimetric acquisitions in summer 2018 and winter 2019 over several permafrost regions in Canada. The present study proposes a first polarimetric analysis over Trail Valley Creek – one of the test sites characterized by continuous permafrost. We examine the influence of frequency, season and vegetation diversity on the scattering mechanisms occurring at the ground surface.
