The objectives of the TerraSAR-SIM campaign were

to quantify the impact of the time intervals between SAR

acquisitions at different wavelengths on agricultural applications.

In 2 flight campaigns in 5 similar flight programs suitable

multipolarised L,-X- and C-band radar data were acquired in a

test site in Barrax. The different processing qualities of the level

1b data were analysed with different evaluation methods such as

separability analysis, scatter plots, histogram analysis, biomass

correlation, classification.

Particularly the separability analysis was used in order to assess

the influence and quality of the different radar wave length,

polarisations, acquisition dates / time lags and of level 1B

processing parameters on the quality of agricultural and land use

applications and retrieval algorithms.

Campaign and analysis results are presented in the following

paper.
