Inhalt:
EcoSAR is an advanced airborne polarimetric and "single pass" interferometric P-band (435 MHz) SAR instrument developed at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center. The instrument was designed to provide two- and three-dimensional fine scale measurements of terrestrial ecosystem structure and biomass, relevant to the study of the carbon cycle and its relationship to climate change. EcoSAR fisrt test flights and science campaign took place in late March 2014 aboard a NOAA P3 aircraft, conducting measurements over areas of the Bahamas and Costa Rica.
