Procedure of creating the NovaSAR-1 Australia National Mosaic

The NovaSAR-1 Australia National Mosaic is an amalgamation of 349 NovaSAR-1 S-band radar images acquired in tri-polarisation mode (HH, VV, HV) from descending-pass orbits. This defines the steps taken to create the mosaic. 2024, CSIRO

Complimentary Ground Based Datasets

The Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) delivers measurements of key terrestrial ecosystem attributes over time at hundreds of representative locations across Australia for uses including the calibration/validation of satellite imagery. TERN provides these data open-access via a Data Discovery Portal. For more information visit the TERN website.

Since 2020 CSIRO has been collecting images over the TERN Ecosystem Processes SuperSites with NovaSAR-1 so if you are interested in using the data please contact us here or search the CSIRO NovaSAR-1 National Facility Datahub for your are of interest.
