Abstract

The shuttle imaging radar (SIR-A) acquired images of a variety of the earth's geologic areas covering about 10 million square kilometers. Structural and geomorphic features such as faults, folds, outcrops, and dunes are clearly visible in both tropical and arid regions. The combination of SIR-A and Seasat images provides additional information about the surface physical properties: topography and roughness. Ocean features were also observed, including large internal waves in the Andaman Sea.

摘要

航天飞机成像雷达（SIR-A）获取了覆盖约 1000 万平方公里的地球地质区域的各种图像。在热带和干旱地区，断层、褶皱、露头和沙丘等构造和地貌特征都清晰可见。SIR-A 和 Seasat 图像的组合提供了有关表面物理特性的附加信息：地形和粗糙度。还观察到了海洋特征，包括安达曼海的大型内波。
