Availability of Seasat synthetic aperture radar imagery
One of the sensors of the Seasat satellite was a synthetic aperture radar (SAR), which was operated over both oceanic and land areas. The Seasat SAR was an active imaging microwave system which transmitted and received horizontally polarized radiation at L-band frequency (1.275 GHz, 23-cm wavelength...
