Data for paper "Improved Preprocessing of Low-Frequency Spaceborne Full-Polarimetric SAR Data Affected by Ionospheric Faraday Rotation"

These data have been read by PolSARpro and each contains four scattering matrix elements in binary format. The corresponding original data were retrieved through the website of the Alaska Satellite Facility Distribute Active Archive Centre (ASF DAAC).

These three data sets (denoted by Scenes A, B, and C) were acquired in the vicinity of several freshwater lakes in mid-latitude North America by the Advanced Land Observation Satellite (ALOS) Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR). Each scene contains land and lake. From the perspective of land cover types, Scenes A (data identity: ALPSRP277750940) and B (data identity: ALPSRP277310860) are featured with lush forest and various forms of farmland, respectively.
