Abstract
Expected applications improvements provided by dual- and quad-polarised data from Radarsat-2 are identified. Dual-polarised data is expected to have a wide range of applications. More detailed information is provided by quad-polarised data but here applications are limited by the narrow swath width. A specific study on sea ice monitoring is focussed on as an example application. The effect of system noise on polarimetric data analysis is considered as is the potential for polarimetric interferometry. The latter will be limited by temporal decorrelation
