The Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 (ALOS-2) was successfully launched on 24th May, 2014. The mission sensor of ALOS-2 is the Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar-2 called PALSAR-2 which is the state of the art L-band SAR system. At After launch, the initial checkout and the calibration and validation phase had been completed, and the PALSAR-2 standard products were released via web...
Monitoring the formation, development, melting, concentration, thickness, movement and other parameters of ice in the Okhotsk and Japan Seas is vital importance to physical oceanographers to study regional climate changes, air/sea/ice interaction, and formation of ocean water properties. Information about sea ice is used in activities associated with transportation, fishing, disaster mitigation, oil...
We have studied ground deformation in the Osaka and Kanto plains, Japan, using ALOS/PALSAR and revealed unique deformations related to active faults. In order to clarify their evolution after 2011, we analyzed strip-map mode images of ALOS-2/PALSAR-2 acquired during 2014–2015. In Osaka, we did not find deformation observed before 2011 such as uplift in southern Kyoto and subsidence along the Arima-Takatsuki...
ALOS-2, which was launched on the 24th of May 2014, is equipped with a fully polarimeric L-band SAR (PALSAR-2) [1, 2]. Unlike ALOS-PALSAR, which used to collect polarimetric (PLR) data at one incidence angle (about 22°) [3], PALSAR-2 offers the possibility of providing PLR measurements at various beams (FP6-3 to FP6-6), with incidence angle varying from 25° to 35° [4]. Recently, several investigations...
