Abstract
TanDEM-X high resolution spotlight bistatic single-polarisation synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images acquired from the German Aerospace Agency (DLR) for the Tropical Forest Degradation Experiment (FODEX) project. Processed into datacubes (netCDF format) for descending intensity, ascending intensity (created using SNAP software) and for descending phase height and coherence (created by Jose-Luis Bueso-Bello at DLR). In addition, a canopy height change map derived from UAV LiDAR campaigns in 2019 and 2021 over the FODEX field site in Peru, and field inventory data for the 8 FODEX core plots in Peru and Gabon.
The dataset relates to the upcoming publication Harry Carstairs, Edward T.A. Mitchard, Iain McNicol, Jose-Luis Bueso-Bello, Chiara Aquino, Manuel J. Marca-Zevallos, Daniel Paucarmayta, and Mathias Disney (in submission). "X-band SAR intensity outperforms phase height and C-band intensity in predicting fine scale tropical forest dynamics”.
