Abstract

In the frame of the EC Environment and Climate Program project, SIBERIA, an extensive forest map for a part of Siberia will be produced using state-of-the art satellite data and remote sensing techniques. Among other sensors the JERS SAR will be used. In this contribution important steps in the JERS processing will be discussed, including radiometric calibration, geocoding, and final products
