Abstract

The authors have augmented the NASA DC-8 AIRSAR instrument with a pair of C-band antennas displaced across track to form an interferometer sensitive to topographic variations of the Earth's surface. During the 1991 DC-8 flight campaign, data were acquired over several sites in the US and Europe, and topographic maps were produced from several of these flight lines. Analysis of the results indicate that statistical errors are in the 2-4-m range, while systematic effects due to aircraft motion are in the 10-20-m range. The initial results from development of a second-generation processor show that aircraft motion compensation algorithms reduce the systematic variations to 2 m, while the statistical errors are reduced to 2-3 m.>
