The Advanced Land Observation Satellite-2 (ALOS-2) will be launched in 2013 and will carry an L-band synthetic aperture radar (PALSAR-2) to a polar orbit with an altitude of 628 km and 14-day revisit time. Four mission objectives are disaster mitigation, environmental monitoring as represented by forest and cryospheric monitoring, land monitoring, and technology development. PALSAR-2 onboard ALOS-2...
This paper describes the performance, calibration method, and observation scenarios for the ALOS-2/PALSAR-2 polarimetry mode. It also describes simulation studies conducted using data from Pi-SAR-L2, JAXA's L-band airborne SAR, for calibration and application studies.
