Abstract

The authors have investigated the interferometric imaging of an inter-tidal zone using pairs of ERS-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The temporal coherence of four sites along the Lincolnshire coast has been studied; one of the four sites investigated has exhibited significant coherence over the inter-tidal zone and coherence is also consistently high over land and salt marsh areas
