航天雷达遥感的作用与发展

Role and Development of Spaceborne Radar Remote Sensing

本文论述了迄今为止唯一获得地球表面航天雷达图像的Seasat SAR、SIR-A及SIR-B三颗成象雷达系统在地球科学研究中的作用,对未来十年以ALMAZ ZAR、ERS-1 SAR、JERS-1 SAR、SIR-C、Radarsat SAR和EOS SAR为主的国际性主动微波遥感系统进行分析,指出研究过程中新的概念和趋势,展望了90年代航天雷达遥感技术发展及应用的前景.

This paper deals with the role of the Seasat SAR, SIR-A and SIR-B in earth science research, which have acquired the spaceborne radar images of the earth surface uniquely. The activities of the active microwave remote sensing in the coming ten years have been described, especially the ALMAZ SAR, ERS-1 SAR, JERS-1 SAR, SIR-C, Radarsat SAR and EOS SAR systems. It is prospected that the 1990's will be the key decade for technical development and geoscience application of the spaceborne radar remote sensing.
