agriculture

The collection represents browse images and metadata for systematically georeferenced Radarsat-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) satellite scenes. The browse scenes are not geometrically enhanced using ground control points, but are systematically corrected using sensor parameters. Full resolution precision geocoded scenes(corrected using ground control points) which correspond to the browse images can be ordered from MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates Ltd., Vancouver, Canada. Metadata discovery is achieved using the online catalog https://neodf.nrcan.gc.ca/neodf_cat3 OR by using the CWIC OGC CSW service URL : http://cwic.csiss.gmu.edu/cwicv1/discovery. Radarsat-1 operates at 5.3 GHz. (C-Band). It is in a sun-synchronous orbit. Image resolution is in the range 8-100 meters.
