One of the evolved technologies is polarimteric radar data and its efficiency in studying earth surface processes including environment related issues.
However, questions are:
- What is the main constraint? Is data availability the key issue to develop technical capacity?
NARSS has started to explore the potentiality of this field through international cooperation and partnership and found that to be an avenue for such capacities. An agreement between NARSS and the Canadian Space Agency (RADARSAT-2 SOAR-AF LOAN AGREEMENT LI-24887) enabled to provide the Polarimetric SAR data and to develop and strengthen our capacities in RadarSat-2 data processing and analysis.
