Rapid Detection of Windthrows Using Sentinel-1 C-Band SAR Data

Rapid Detection of Windthrows Using Sentinel-1 C-Band SAR Data

Storm events are capable of causing windthrow to large forest areas. A rapid detection of the spatial distribution of the windthrown areas is crucial for forest managers to help them direct their limited resources. Since synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data is acquired largely independent of daylight...
