TerraSAR-X Ascending-Descending Merges

An Ascending-Descending Merge ADMSAR is a combination of two scenes of the same acquisition area: one recorded in ascending and the other in descending orbit.

ADMSAR images reduce the impact of shadows and layover, the specific image characteristics of the side-looking radar system.

The ADMSAR product characteristics are:

  • Multilook detected
  • WGS84 with standard projections UTM or UPS
  • Optional: separted ascending and descending mode images as ORISAR or EEC images
  • Source map depicting the relevant input image for each pixel
  • ADMSAR are available as mosaics as well
