N2 - To demonstrate the potential of ALOS PALSAR data for polarimetric SAR interferometry (PolInSAR), a pair of PALSAR polarimetric scenes has been selected over Glen Affric, Scotland where various ground truth is available including digital terrain models (DTMs) and tree measurements. The overall coherence level is quite low, mainly due to the temporal decorrelation. The current preliminary results show that the low observed coherence level in forest in all lexicographic polarizations is a major problem challenging the extraction of ground elevation beneath canopy and the forest canopy height itself.
