Abstract :
The aim of the described CD-ROM is to introduce the main properties of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images provided by remote sensing satellites. We have also included some concrete examples of how such radar data can be used. This presentation relies mainly on data provided by the European Remote Sensing (ERS) 1&2 satellites over the territory of French Guyana, from where those satellites were launched in 1991 and 1995 from the Space Center at Kourou
