Waldkartierung in Sibirien

SIBIERA ist ein internationales Projekt mit Partners aus acht Nationen, das Radardaten der europäischen Satelliten ERS-1 und ERS-2 und des japanischen JERS-1 auswertet, um die sibirischen Wälder zu Unterstützung einer neuen russisch Forstinventur zu kartieren und um wissenschaftliche Fragestellungen zu Waldökosystemen zu untersuchen

SIBERIA - Results from the IGBP Boreal Forest Transect

This paper gives an overview of the first results along the western transect of the North Eurasian Sutdy for the IGBP Program. Interferometric processing, SAR geometry issues and calibration are adressed. First classification approaches compare results to the Russian forest inventory. Forest/non-forest can only be distinguished using Tandem coherence

SIBERIA - Sar Imaging for Boreal Ecology and Radar Interferometry Applications: First ERS Tandem Results from the IGBP Boreal Forest Transect

Radar remote sensing has become an increasingly important tool for observations of forest ecosystems. SIBERIA merges the advantages of operational SAR satellites by analysing dual-frequency composites and interferometric products. SIBERIA demonstrates the feasibility of radar remote sensing technology for large-scale vegetation mapping and combines and refines state-of-the-art technology and techniques. Where interferometric coherence allows, high quality digital elevation models will be generated
