Polarimetric Responses and Scattering Mechanisms of Tropical Forests in the Brazilian Amazon

This chapter discusses the polarimetric responses of PALSAR (L-band) data and scattering mechanisms of some tropical forest typologies based on target decomposition. The fundamentals of polarimetric theory related to both SAR topics under development are summarized. For representation of polarimetri...
