Abstract

Coherent backscatter from mangroves and marshlands has permitted the use of Differential InSAR for determining changes in standing water level. Hong et al. have shown that low temporal decorrelation exists for X., C-, and L-band SAR over multiple revisit periods, where interferograms of high coherence can be produced for HH, VV, and HV polarizations. While providing an extremely useful operational tool for understanding the hydrology of the Everglades, these results pose numerous questions in terms of inconsistencies with respect to polarimetric decomposition, uncharacteristically low temporal decorrelation, and coherency of the HV polarization.
