ABSTRACT
One problem that arises in the context of environmental research is selection of an appropriate scale of measure and accuracy to detect, quantify or monitor a topic of interest. For satellite remote sensing studies, the problem becomes a matter of applying a temporal and spatial resolution that is compatible with the dynamics and extent of the environmental parameters under investigation. Problems associated with attaining suitable temporal resolution have been reduced by the all-weather data collection capabilities of SAR systems. For SAR, the question of spatial resolution and accuracy can be addressed, in part, by the methodology used to process raw data.
