2002/2003 IfSAR data for Southern California: Radar Reflectance Image

This metadata document describes the collection and processing of topographic elevation point data derived from Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IfSAR) measurement for coastal Southern California. Collection consists of topographic elevations from the California counties of Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego, and the hydrologic units within those counties that drain to the Pacific Ocean along with offshore islands within the Channel Islands. The resulting data available for download, include the Digital Elevation Model (DEM), and the Raw magnitude radar reflectance data. Height Variance data is available upon request from NOAA OCM. This metadata record describes the orthorectified radar reflectance image.
