MAC-91 On Montespertoli: Preliminary Analysis Of Multifrequency SAR Sensitivity To Soil And Vegetation Parameters

Abstract

In this paper preliminary results obtained by analyzing SAR images collected during the MAC EUROPE '91 Campaign will be presented. A NASA airfcraft, carrying on board a multifrequency, polarimetric SAR (at P, L and C bands) flew in summer 1991 over different European test-sites. In Tuscany a test-site close to Florence, in the Montespertoli area, was chosen for the experiment. Preliminary results show a reasonable sensitivity to vegetation and soil characteristics.
