Title
The Gbfm Radar Mosaic Of The Eurasian Taiga: A Groundwork For The Bio-Physical Characterization Of An Ecosystem With Relevance To Global Change Studies
Abstract
In the context of the Global Boreal Forest Mapping project (GBFM), an initiative of the national Space Development Agency of Japan, a continental scale radar mosaic of the Eurasian Taiga was compiled. The mosaic is composed of blanket observations of this ecosystem acquired in 1997-98 by the L-band radar instrument on-board the JERS-1 spacecraft. The data set covers the area between the Ural Mountains in the West, Bering Strait in The East, Arctic Ocean in The North and the Korean Peninsula in The South. The pixel spacing is 100 in and the map projection is Albers equal area conical. The paper reports on the methods followed in the mosaic compilation, geometric revision and radiometric calibration Preliminary observations are reported on the thematic content Results obtained so far indicate that the Eurasian GBFM mosaic constitutes an important source of information about an area of the world that hosts a series of natural and human induced processes of great relevance for global change studies and environmental sustainability.
