Wetlands monitoring by ERS SAR data.pdf
The objectives of this study were to assess the suitability of ERS SAR images in monitoring the seasonal changes of the wetland areas which are difficult to monitor on land. Lake Bangweulu in Zambia was selected for the study. An additional objective was to carry out a comparison of the results obtained from both ERS SAR and NOAA AVHRR data.

Towards More Efficient Use of Radar-Altimeter Data
Twenty years ago, experimental altimeters on NASA's Skylab and Geos-3 were already demonstrating the potential of such instrumentation. This led in turn to the development and launch by NASA in July 1978 of the Seasat oceanographic satellite mission. Both Geos-3 and Seasat were very successful in their pioneering missions, but were limited somewhat by poor coverage in the case of Geos-3 and an abnormally short mission duration in Seasat's case.
