Airborne S-Band SAR for Forest Biophysical Retrieval in Temperate Mixed Forests of the UK

Airborne S-Band SAR for Forest Biophysical Retrieval in Temperate Mixed Forests of the UK

Radar backscatter from forest canopies is related to forest cover, canopy structure and aboveground biomass (AGB). The S-band frequency (3.1–3.3 GHz) lies between the longer L-band (1–2 GHz) and the shorter C-band (5–6 GHz) and has been insufficiently studied for forest applications due to limited d...
