Sentinel 1​

Sentinel-1 has two SAR bands: VV polarization: This band measures the backscatter from targets that are oriented vertically to the radar beam. This band is sensitive to surface roughness and can be used to map vegetation, soil, and urban areas. VH polarization: This band measures the backscatter from targets that are oriented horizontally to the radar beam. This band is sensitive to changes in surface moisture and can be used to map flooded areas, snow cover, and vegetation moisture. Bands combinations (from LV): VV,VH,VV/VH The “VV, VH, VV / VH” combination works well for distinguishing water objects, open soils, moistened agricultural fields, vegetation, and urban areas. Water in lakes is shown in dark blue, bright blue or black hues with radar signal noise. Blue hues show agricultural fields with bare soil, often sufficiently waterlogged. Fields with vegetation show a green color. High-rise buildings of a metropolis are represented by bright green-yellow shades. The runways of the airfields are shown in black. Forestry with dense vegetation are shown in dark green. Open dry surfaces are shown in red and crimson shades. Certain road surfaces and artificial structures can be displayed using the same color. VV, VH, VV The “VV, VH, VV” combination facilitates immediate viewing of open soils, which are displayed in pitch cherry color. Its saturation shows the level of moisture and salinity, as well as the presence of low vegetation. Field crops are displayed in bright green colors. Forest areas are well-distinguished, and displayed in light green shades with the inclusion of a cherry color. Other vegetation is displayed in shades of green. Anthropogenic areas are shown in pink.
