SnowEx17 SnowSAR Multi-look Synthetic Aperture Radar Backscatter Amplitude Images, Version 1

This data set, part of the SnowEx 2017 campaign, contains multi-look synthetic aperture radar (SAR) amplitude images. The images are stored in netCDF files; browse images are also available. Data were collected using the SnowSAR instrument at the X (9.6 GHz) and Ku (17.25 GHz) bands. The SnowSAR instrument flew on the NP-3C Orion aircraft and captured data from across Colorado, including near the SnowEx 2017 Grand Mesa, Colorado study site and Vail, Colorado. Data were acquired between 16 February 2017 and 22 February 2017 and have a resolution of 1 meter by 1 meter.

本数据集作为SnowEx 2017科考项目的组成部分，包含多视合成孔径雷达（Synthetic Aperture Radar，SAR）幅度图像。图像以netCDF格式文件存储，同时提供预览图像。该数据集由SnowSAR仪器在X（9.6 GHz）与Ku（17.25 GHz）波段采集获取。SnowSAR仪器搭载于NP-3C Orion航空器之上，采集范围覆盖科罗拉多州全域，涵盖SnowEx 2017科考项目的科罗拉多州大梅萨（Grand Mesa）研究站点周边以及科罗拉多州韦尔（Vail）区域。数据采集时段为2017年2月16日至2017年2月22日，空间分辨率为1米×1米。
