Corner Reflector (CR), Polarimetric Active Radar Calibrator (PARC) and Ground Control Point (GCP), is used for PALSAR data calibration. (geometric calibration, radiometric calibration and multi-polarization)

In PALSAR GDS, PALSAR data calibration is performed for the observation data acquired in the modes shown in the table below.

High Resolution Mode
(2 polarizations)
HH+HV 34.3
41.5
Polarimetry Mode HH+HV+VV+VH 20.5
21.5
23.1
ScanSAR Mode HH 5 Scans
