Sentinel-1 is a spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging system and mission from the European Space Agency and the European Commission. The mission launched and began collecting imagery in 2014.
Sentinel-1 SAR imagery helps to track and document land use and land change associated with climate change, urbanization, drought, wildfire, deforestation, and other natural processes and human activity.
Through an intuitive user experience, the Sentinel-1 Explorer leverages a variety of ArcGIS capabilities to explore and begin to unlock the wealth of information that Sentinel-1 provides. Some of the key capabilities include:
- Visual exploration of a dynamic global mosaic of the latest available scenes.
- On-the-fly band/polarization combinations and indices for visualization and analysis.
- Interactive Find a Scene by location, time, and orbit direction.
- Visual change by time and renderings with Swipe and Animation modes.
- Analysis such as threshold masking and temporal profiles for vegetation, water, land surface temperature, and more.
