Pre-ABoVE: L1 S-0 Polarimetric Data from AirMOSS P-band SAR, Alaska, 2014-2015

Published by ORNL_DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: October 13, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-09-11

This data set provides level 1 (L1) polarimetric radar backscattering coefficient (sigma-0), multi-look complex, polarimetrically calibrated, and georeferenced data products from the Airborne Microwave Observatory of Subcanopy and Subsurface (AirMOSS) radar instrument collected over 10 study sites across Northern Alaska, USA. Flight campaigns took place in August 2014, October 2014, April 2015, August 2015, September 2015, and October 2015. The acquired L1 P-band radar backscatter data will be used to derive estimates of soil water content and permafrost state at the study sites.
