Like the article hints at, some of the particular strengths of this new measurement: - frequent revisit, so can track even sub-monthly changes - the L-band radar is at a wavelength (24cm) that penetrates vegetation canopy, removing a confounder from the measurement - excellent spatial resolution that is relevant to urban scenes The data volume is exceptionally high and required a lot of engineering effort. All radars are demanding, but this one was a new high-water mark. (https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/news/now-that-nisar-launched-...) |

Pun fully intended, I'm sure.
