Abstract:
Monitoring of the manifold dynamic processes on the Earth’s surface is essential for characterizing and quantifying environmental changes and climate variability. Tandem-L has been proposed as a highly innovative L-band SAR satellite mission to provide observations and data products of unprecedented resolution, quality and revisit rates for the geosphere, biosphere, cryosphere and hydrosphere. In this paper we analyze the potential of Tandem-L for oceanographic applications.
