Title
Investigation of physical characteristics of intertidal zone using NASA/JPL fully polarimetric AIRSAR data
Abstract
Tidal flats form a unique ecosystem.. providing the habitat for various species of fauna and flora which play an important role in the essential function of water purification. Tidal flats have particular significance for coastal zone environmental assessment. This study aims to derive physical properties and surface characteristics of tidal flats from L-band NASA/JPL fully polarimetric AIRSAR data which was acquired over Southern coast of Korean peninsula in September, 2000, as part of the PACRIM-II mission. Surface roughness is an essential parameter prescribed by surface sand ripples in tidal flat. We employed the Extended-Bragg (X-Bragg) model to measure the surface roughness on tidal flats from polarimetric SAR data. There are two approaches of X-Bmgg model, which are circular polarization roughness and Anisotropy methods. The circular polarization coherence vertical bar rho(RRLL)vertical bar was developed to investigate terrain surface roughness. Anisotropy method was developed to separate the surface roughness from surface dielectric constant by utilizing the scattering entropy H the anisotropy A and the alpha angle The surface roughness was calculated and analyzed using the polarimetric anisotropy and the circular polarization coherence, vertical bar rho(RRLL)vertical bar.
