Assessing Forest/Non-Forest Separability Using Sentinel-1 C-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar by Johannes N. Hansen, Edward T. A. Mitchard, Stuart King

“…While longer wavelengths, such as L-band, are commonly used for forest applications, in this paper we assess the aptitude of C-band Sentinel-1 data for this purpose, for which there is much interest due to its high temporal resolution (five days) and “free, full, and open” data policy. We tested its ability to distinguish forest from non-forest in six study sites, located in Alaska, Colombia, Finland, Florida, Indonesia, and the UK. …”
