2023 - Radarsat Constellation Mission Analysis Ready Data Canada Land Mosaic

The three-satellite RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) acquires synthetic aperture radar data of the Earth's surface. Canadian lands and waters are tracked daily. The standardized RCM acquisition plan uses ScanSAR 30m beams with a compact polarimetric configuration and enables bimonthly monitoring of Canadian land cover. The Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) has created a 30m resolution land cover map of Canada, representing the decomposition of information from the data collected according to the type of interaction of the radar wave with the earth's surface.
