Abstract
The Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-band
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR) is the
most advanced imaging radar system to fly in Earth orbit.
Carried in the cargo bay
of the Space Shuttle Endeavour in April and October of 1994,
SIR-C/X-SAR
simultaneously
recorded
SAR
data at three wavelengths (L-, C-, and X-bands; 23.5, 5.8, and 3.1 cm,
respectively).
The
SIR-C/X-SAR
Science Team consists of 52 investigator teams from more than a dozen
countries. Science investigations were undertaken in the fields
of ecology, hydrology,
geology, and oceanography. This report contains 44 investigator
team reports and
several additional reports from co-investigators and other researchers.
