S band

At X band, an increased amount of the received power is due to the volume scattering contribution (in red)

H

0 1S band X band

At X band, an overall high entropy trend can be observed, almost apart from the considered target.

Hence, X-Band has limited usefulness for crop and forest type measurements

At S band, the polarimetric entropy approaches 1 in presence of some vegetated areas and forests in particular.

Saltmarsh

Polarimetric SAR generates useful classification results, highlighting the structural expression of various vegetation types

S-Band SAR appears better suited than X-Band SAR for distinguishing between different vegetation types

X-Band appears better at delineating vegetated from bare surfaces

Provides additional information to traditional, optical airborne survey data and could be used for future environmental monitoring

Conclusion

All results shown are excerpts only

S-Band is proven to be useful for oil slick monitoring, vegetation survey, vessel monitoring, waterway and saltmarsh monitoring

The UK has invested in developing applications pre-launch

Launch is expected in 2016
