    The SeaSat-A Synthetic Aperture Radar System

    The SeaSat-A synthetic aperture radar imaging radar system (SAR) was the first imaging radar system used as a scientific instrument from Earth orbit. The system generated continuous radar imagery with a 100 km swath at a resolution of 25 m from an 800 km altitude orbit. The imagery is a pictorial representation of the radar backscatter of the Earth's surface in a map-like representation.

    PV-LAC-COAST-RBD-v1-1.pdf

    The aim of this document is to make a critical review of the algorithms for TSM retrieval and atmospheric correction in turbid coastal waters, to identify the most suitable method (TSM and A/C method) for PROBA-V, to define the validation approach (including identification of the validation data and test sites) and to assess the utility and benefits of 100m coastal products through interaction with the user community.
