Abstract

Agriculture Ecosystems Heuristic algorithms InSAR NISAR Reliability Rivers SAR Sea measurements Tools
The NISAR mission, an L-band and S-band 12-day repeat-pass InSAR, currently scheduled to be launched in January 2023, will serve as an unprecedented resource for the Remote Sensing of Ecosystems Science community. The reliable set of 30 ascending and 30 descending 250 km swath of observations on a continuing basis will allow for the modeling and observation of hydrologic processes that serves as a forcing function and mode of energy transport for most living things, as well as changes in the landcover that are associated with agriculture, river and coastal dynamics, and disturbance. In this paper we provide an overview of the Ecosystem science that will be enabled by the NISAR mission and give a status of the basic algorithms that are being used to provide a basic set of tools to the community to make use of the data that NISAR will provide.
