Аннотация

The paper aims at polarimetric analysis of PALSAR and PALSAR-2 quad-polarimetric data over Canadian boreal forests. Low air temperature in winter in the area leads to decreasing the radar cross-section, changes of scattering matrix properties, and results in confusing classification maps, which are variant in different seasons. The study demonstrates that air temperature is a simple weather parameter correlating with some polarimetric characteristics of a target. The mean daily temperature in the day before observations is found to be more suitable parameter than current temperature. The increasing interval of temperature averaging (2-7 days) does not improve the resulting correlation. Under freezing conditions the dominating scattering mechanism is a surface scattering even for dense forests. Time series of the polarimetric classification parameters alpha angle and entropy gives a possibility to distinguish real surface scattering from temporal one, that is caused by frost.
