1 AGRISAR Airborne SAR & Optics Campaigns for an improved monitoring of agri. processes & practices Irena Hajnsek & AGRISAR Team (124 participants), German Aerospace Center Folie 1 irena.hajnsek@dlr.de

2 AGRISAR Campaign Objectives The AGRISAR 2006 campaign aimed to collect in-situ, airborne SAR and optical measurements, as well as satellite data in support of decisions being taken on satellite instrument configurations for the first Sentinel Missions. In addition it aims to provide an important database for the study of longer term mission concepts. To assess the impact of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 sensors and mission characteristics for land applications (land use mapping, parameter retrieval); To provide a basis for quantitative assessment of sensor or mission tradeoff studies, e.g. spatial and radiometric resolution, revisit time; To simulate Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 image products over the land; To define user and system requirements for the Sentinel-3 sensor. Folie 2

3 AGRISAR Campaign Requirements Main campaign requirements: Joint data acquisition (ground / airborne (optical - SAR) measurements) Data collection over a whole vegetation growth period Frequency of data collection similar to the planned Sentinel missions Airborne sensor specifications: C-band data acquisition & Sentinel-1 simulation (DLR s E-SAR) Hyperspectral data acquisition & Sentinel-2 simulation (ITRES CASI) Thermal Infrared data acquisition & Sentinel-3 simulation (INTA AHS) Folie 3

4 Selected Test Site for AGRISAR: Demmin N/E Germany Criteria for the selection of the Demmin Test Site: Long history of parameter collection (validation of RS algorithms: soil and vegetation sampling) Ongoing own research activities at DLR well-established co-operation with local farmers Representative for mid-european agricultural sites Big field sizes (up to 10ha) 10 agro-meterological stations Folie 4
