Impact of Diurnal Variations on Compact Polarimetric SAR Decomposition

In this investigation, we observed the impact of diurnal variations on the compact polarimetric decomposition powers. These observations are important for high-temporal revisit satellite missions like compact polarimetric C-band RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM), which are capable of same day acquisition during its ascending (ASC) and descending (DES) passes. We observed a clear sensitivity of the compact polarimetric decomposition powers over the agricultural fields to the change in the meteorological variables.
