#ALOS2
Does anyone know where I can access free ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 interferometric pairs acquired at high incidence angles (>55°) over an actively deforming volcano?

Any datasets, sample scenes, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

BIOMASS will help reveal wide paleochannels over the target areas.

Though smaller channels will still be missed - the spatial resolution of the focussed SAR data doesn't have sufficient spatial resolution to resolve them. Other approaches are required say VHR #ALOS2 (L-Band) or airborne/drone SAR.

Very space-y new year’s gift. 🛰️

Didn’t know #JAXA ‘s #ALOS2 and #ALOS4 #satellites have their own かわいい characters made for them🩷 I love how the differences between the two satellites ( payload and antenna ) are so, so cutely represented. ☺️📡📷

Depends on water vapour and/or whether any precipitation coming out of them.

These graphics from an MIT online SAR presentation.

Implies C-band (Sentinel1) more affected than L-band (ALOS/ALOS2)

If it's ALOS2 PALSAR data over Kamchatka you're trying to analyse then just be aware that the @bellingcat.com RFI tool suggests that on certain days there is likely military radar active in the region 😉

I don't know why the recommendations in the report claims L band SAR in new. L-band data has been around for decades.

JAXA ALOS2 PALSAR2 - 2014 - ongoing

The Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF) Vertex Portal holds 86 scenes of ALOS PALSAR data over North Pennines 🤷‍♂️

How to download ALOS2 data using G-portal python client
I am using G-Portal python client gportal (https://gportal.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) to download ALOS2 data, for example, for the point 67.3624, 26.6386 (one fluxnet site on Sodankyla, Finland) with the mode of Fine[10m] DP. I can find the data on gportal website like shown in the attached figure, but if I run my code, the code returns nothing... Here is finding results in gportal website: And here is my code: # 1) install the client # $ pip install gportal import os import gportal from math import cos, radians #%% # 2) authenticate (you get these when you register on G-Portal) gportal.username = "myusername" gportal.password = "mypassword" # os.environ["GPORTAL_PASSWORD"] # or hard-code (but env-var is safer) #%% # 3) look up the dataset tree and pick the FBD dual-pol mode datasets = gportal.datasets() # drill down until you find the PALSAR-2 / FBDR SLC branch: # e.g. datasets["ALOS-2/PALSAR-2"]["L1.1"]["Fine Beam Dual-polarization"]["SLC"] fbd_dataset_id = datasets["ALOS-2"]['ALOS-2.PALSAR-2']["NA"]["Fine[10m] DP"][0] #%% # 4) compute a 1 km × 1 km bbox around (lon, lat) = (67.3624, 26.6386) center_lon = 67.3624 center_lat = 26.6386 half_side_km = 0.5 # 1° lat ≈ 110.574 km; 1° lon ≈ 111.320 km × cos(lat) delta_lat = half_side_km / 110.574 delta_lon = half_side_km / (111.320 * cos(radians(center_lat))) bbox = [ center_lon - delta_lon, # minLon center_lat - delta_lat, # minLat center_lon + delta_lon, # maxLon center_lat + delta_lat, # maxLat ] print("Using bbox:", bbox) #%% search = gportal.search( dataset_ids=fbd_dataset_id, start_time="2019-06-17T00:00:00", end_time="2022-06-24T23:59:59", bbox=bbox, # params={"polarization": ["HH", "HV"] # }, ) print(f"Found {search.matched()} scenes") products = search.products() #%% # 5) download everything into ./alos2_fbd_slc/ gportal.download(products, local_dir="./alos2_fbd_slc/") But it returns Found 0 scenes...what happened and could you please help me with this? Thanks!
