Abstract

We can acquire JERS-1 and ERS-1/2 SAR data at Syowa Station, Antarctica by an S/X-band parabola anternna whose diameter is 11 meters. The recorded SAR data tapes at Syowa Station arc transported to NIPR every April by the icebreaker Shirase. The data are validated at NASDA/EOC and data with good quality are catalogued and made available to users by NASDA/EOC or via NIPR under collaborative research programs.

One of the purposes of the acquisition is to generate digital elevation model around Syowa station by means of interferometric SAR technique. An interferogram for the Amundsen Bay area is obtained from JERS-1 SAR SAR data pair observed on November 26, 1996 and January 9, 1997.
