Evaluation of time-dependent features in the Ecosystems UAVSAR interferometric data from NISAR's AM/PM campaign
Abstract
Based out of NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC) in the summer and fall of 2019, the UAVSAR AM/PM campaign was designed to collect a time-series observations over a variety of Ecosystems targets located in the southeastern united states. These data were nominally collected two times every twelve days in a morning and afternoon observing strategy that was meant to mimic the NISAR observing plan. This part of the country was chosen for collection because of the more hydrologically dynamic environment compared to targets that could have been collected on the west coast, where UAVSAR is more normally stationed. Because ecosystems depend on the presence of water and water dynamics for their survival, the AM/PM campaign represented a unique set of targets for the Ecosystems community and provides an opportunity for better learning characteristics of NISAR data once it is launched.
In this paper we will explore UAVSAR interferometric data from the UAVSAR campaign and analyze the time-dependent characteristics of the signatures over the period of data collection. We will be evaluating how these observations can be used for the variety of ecosystems applications as well as projecting on how these results will be represented in NISAR data.- Publication:
