TOPSAR Home Page

See a picture of the NASA DC-8 aircraft that AIRSAR/TOPSAR flies on. This aircraft is currently based out of NASA/AMES. If you look carefully, you can see antennas mounted on the fuselage.

Topsar images - hot off the processor

For the time being, as an experiment, the AIRSAR group will be supplying TOPSAR images from their airborne interferometric SAR.

Each scene will be presented as :

Topography
- relative vertical accuracy of the data is about 1 meter in non-mountainous areas
- relative vertical accuracy is worse than 1 meter in mountainous areas
- for the image display of topography, the color contour interval may be determined by the scale bar at the bottom of the image, and is much more coarse than the accuracy of the data.
- C-band data is used to calculate topography.
SAR backscatter
- red = P-band total power
- green = L-band total power
- blue = C-band VV
- topography is used to calibrate the data

For the time being, the data will be sorted solely by TS number, which is just a number indicating the order of processing.

For more information about these data products, please contact Jakob vanZyl at jacobv@blacks.jpl.nasa.gov

In the near future, we will make these images sortable by latitude and longitude. The latitude and longitude of these images may be found ON the image.

These images are LARGE (between 0.5 and 1 Megabyte JPEG)
