Abstract

This data set consists of 6 black and white TIFF files with a resolution of 25 m X 25 m covering the eastern Meguma Terrain (11D, 11E/01, 11E/02, 11E/03 and 11E/04). The images are the product of work done by Synmap Technologies under contract to NSNR&R. The images are derived from airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. Each of the six TIFF files contains three images, one SAR image and two shaded relief images. The images have been georeferenced for use in ArcView. A report by Synmap, Airborne SAR Data Processing and Analysis report, is supplied with this document. Not all of the images indicated in the report are included as part of this product. The ASAR_T1 to T6 images are included using new file names. The image planes are described below. AR_025_T1.TIF to AR_025_T6.TIF: image plane 1 - SAR grey level image plane 2 - shaded relief - azimuth 335 / altitude 35 image plane 3 - shaded relief - azimuth 022 / altitude 30.
