 note = {We initially proposed to utilize ALOS PALSAR and PRISM data as inputs to a system for wildfire danger monitoring and post-fire vegetation recovery assessment. The availability of L-band data, at dual- or quad-pol, is essential to the accurate derivation of vegetation and terrain parameters that characterize fire fuels and hence probability of fire occurrence. The vegetative fuel maps were proposed to be provided on an annual basis to help plan pre-fire projects such as controlled burns. Vegetation (fire fuel) moisture maps would be used to monitor changing conditions and to produce risk maps. In post-fire damage assessment, radar and optical data would be combined to measure burned areas and determine soil moisture conditions, followed by monitoring vegetation recovery in the months and years afterwards. This research effort has been modified to expand its scope both geographically and in terms of products. Collaborations with other PI teams have been formed for this purpose. In particular, the project was expanded to (1) generate continental-scale wetlands maps of the north-American boreal zone, and (2) develop radar scattering inversion models for identifying vegetation characteristics in forested regions that could be used to map not only fire fuel but also component biomass., 形態: カラー図版あり, 形態: DVD-ROM1枚, Physical characteristics: Original contains color illustrations, Note: One DVD-ROM, 資料番号: AA0065135072, レポート番号: JAXA-SP-11-007E},
