RADARSAT-2 Antarctica Mosaics and Tiles Documentation, 2008
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Technical information on the RADARSAT-2 Antarctic Mapping Initiative, October to December 2008, is as follows: Beam Modes: RADARSAT-2 Wide 2 Dual Polarization and RADARSAT-2 Extended High 4 mode.
Description
Polarizations: HH and HV. File format: Geotiff, with location provided by GPS onboard the satellite (accuracy better than 10 meters).
Individual tile products are at 25 meter resolution, 16-bit depth, in the same extent and naming convention as the original RAMP (RADARSAT Antarctic Mapping Project) tiles of 1997, composed of imagery from 370 swaths and 3,150 individual scenes. Mosaics are block-averaged from the tile products and resampled at 100, 200, 400, and 800 meter resolutions, in 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit depth backscatter coefficient in dB. To access the images, choose the RADARSAT-2 Mosaics of Antarctica Geospatial Search in the Polar Data Catalogue.
