  • Abstract
    Microwave signals emitted by SAR are not able to penetrate sea surface and to reach seabed. Nonetheless bathymetric measurements can be retrieved from SAR images and potentially used to support the monitoring of geo-morphological risks in coastal areas and marine pollution. This paper presents the preliminary results of SAR4BAT project, aimed at the development of SAR-based products for coastal area bathymetry.
