TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X Synthetic Aperture Radar products requested by ESA-supported projects worldwide. The dataset includes imagery acquired in six modes with resolutions ranging from 0.25 meters to 40 meters and scene sizes up to 270x1650 km². ESA collects new products over the years, expanding the archive.
Use Cases
- Land cover classification based on high-resolution radar imagery
- Change detection monitoring based on multi-temporal SAR acquisitions
- Geophysical parameter estimation based on different polarimetric combinations
- Large-area mapping based on wide ScanSAR modes covering up to 270x1650 km²
Strengths
- Offers six distinct imaging modes with resolutions from 0.25m to 40m
- Scene sizes can be large, up to 270x1650 km² for Wide ScanSAR mode
- Provides multiple processing levels including SSC, MGD, GEC, and EEC
Limitations
- Row count and total dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
