“…These images have spatial resolutions of approximately 7 m and incidence angles of 34°, 45°, and 47°.  Garons: Fully polarimetric radar data were acquired by the new ONERA multispectral airborne SAR system SETHI ( [15]). SAR images were acquired in June 2009 at L-band, and in October 2011 at both L-and UHF-bands.…”

International audienceThe potential of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar data for the soil surface characterization of bare agricultural soils was investigated by using air- and spaceborne data acquired by Radar Aéroporté Multi-Spectral d'Etude des Signatures (RAMSES), Système Expérimental de Télédétection Hyperfréquence Imageur (SETHI), and RADARSAT-2 sensors over several study sites in France. Fully polarimetric data at ultrahigh frequency, X-, C-, L-, and P-bands were compared. The results show that the main polarimetric parameters studied (entropy, α angle, and anisotropy) are not very sensitive to the variation of the soil surface parameters. Low correlations are observed between the polarimetric and soil parameters (moisture content and surface roughness). Thus, the polarimetric parameters are not very relevant to the characterization of the soil surface over bare agricultural areas

“…SETHI is an airborne remote sensing imaging system developed by ONERA [27]. It integrates a new generation of radar and optronic payloads and can operate over a wide range of frequency bands from UHF and VHF to X-band, including L-band, with long-range and very high-resolution polarimetric and interferometric capabilities.…”

“…Controlled releases of six chemical and nonhydrocarbon oil products were carried out in collaboration with the French Navy and Customs. SETHI, the ONERA (French aerospace laboratory) airborne SAR system [27], acquired POLSAR data over the released products simultaneously at X-(9.75 GHz) and L-band (1.325 GHz). While beyond the scope of this paper, we note that optical imagery data (LWIR, SWIR, and UV) were also acquired during this campaign.…”

The increase in maritime traffic, particularly the transport of hazardous and noxious substances (HNSs), requires advanced methods of identification and characterization in environmental chemical spills. Knowledge about HNS monitoring using radar remote sensing is not as extensive as for oil spills; however, any progress on this issue would likely advance the monitoring of both chemical and oil-related incidents. To address the need for HNS monitoring, an experiment was conducted in May 2015 over the Mediterranean Sea during which controlled releases of HNS were imaged by a multifrequency radar system. The aim of this experiment was to establish a procedure for collecting evidence of illegal maritime pollution by noxious liquid substances using airborne radar sensors. In this paper, we demonstrate the ability of radar imagery to detect and characterize chemicals at sea. A normalized polarization difference parameter is introduced to quantify both the impacts of released product on the ocean surface and the relative concentration of the substance within the spill. We show that radar imagery can provide knowledge of the involved HNS. In particular, one can distinguish a product that forms a film on the top of the sea surface from another that mixes with seawater, the information that is critical for efficient cleanup operations.
