Interferometric sea ice mapping with TanDEM-X: First experiments

In summer 2010 during the commissioning phase of TanDEM-X, the TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X constellation was operated in the pursuit monostatic mode allowing along- track interferometric measurements with very short time separation of only 2.6 sec. This paper presents first evaluations of data acquired on a...

Description
Summary:In summer 2010 during the commissioning phase of TanDEM-X, the TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X constellation was operated in the pursuit monostatic mode allowing along- track interferometric measurements with very short time separation of only 2.6 sec. This paper presents first evaluations of data acquired on arctic sea ice scenarios and investigates the potentials for the mapping of ice sheet dynamics with respect to rotation and translation with this unique constellation. Due to the larger coverage, the data analysis is focused on interferometric ScanSAR data.
