Imaging radar, particularly synthetic aperture radar (SAR), is used to create detailed images of the Earth’s surface. Unlike traditional radar, which only detects the presence of objects, imaging radar can create high-resolution images, which are useful for mapping terrain, detecting changes in landscapes, and monitoring environmental conditions. This technology is widely used in satellite-based remote sensing applications, such as mapping forests, ice sheets, and urban areas. Imaging radar provides detailed insights into the Earth’s surface, even in poor visibility or cloudy conditions.
