Abstract

X-and L-band airborne SAR developed by CRL and NASDA has the capability of high resolution, polarimetry and cross-track interferometry. The radar has been operated since 1995 in the domestic area of Japan aiming at technical capability and validating for various applications. In this paper, we pick up the examples of the volcanic events to show the ability of the Pi-SAR.
