Funded Activity Summary
High resolution airborne P-band radar for environmental research. This project aims to establish a new national capability for airborne-radar remote-sensing to provide unprecedented detail on environmental variables including soil moisture, salinity, vegetation and terrain height. This instrument, together with existing radar and radiometer capability, will yield the first airborne satellite simulator of its type in the world, providing Australian and overseas researchers with a unique and affordable tool for world-class pioneering research. This novel combination of sensors is expected to yield a level of detail that cannot be achieved with any one sensor alone. Applications include increased capability for monitoring of important environmental data, such as information on soil moisture status required for efficient and sustainable water use.Funded Activity Details
