Synergism requirements and concepts for SAR and HIRIS on EOSA study is conducted to ascertain the synergistic advantages obtainable by combining, in the EOS orbital instrument platform, instruments for the optical and microwave measurements of biophysical properties important in ecosystem modeling. Attention is given to the comparative coverages of the SAR, HIRIS, TIMS and MODIS instruments that will be carried by the platform, and to the ongoing development of joint inversion algorithms for the modeling of the ecosystems-related data thus obtained. A three-dimensional characterization of the physical attributes of the vegetation canopy and its background surface will be attempted.
