Today I will
to speak about a website related to my study field, this website I the
following
This is a Canadian website that shows the features and applications of
the also Canadian “RADARSAT” satellites, (RADARSAT 1 and 2), and this website
belongs to the CANADIAN SPACE AGENCY´s website
The two RADARSAT satellites are
modern devices that operate using radar waves for the remote sensing; the
images that they produce are in white and black because these images are
produced like the vision of a bat.
(this is a RADARSAT image of Canada)
These satellites are considered like active because they don´t need one
external light source to work, for this reason they can to operate (to watch
the Earth´s surface) in the day and in the night, but also in any climatic
condition, or under extreme condition like storms, volcanic eruptions, forest
fires and any condition that hides the vision for other passive satellites.
The uses that we can make are many, but I will
present the most common uses:
-
Ice vigilance (polar latitudes)
-
Maritime surveillance ( everywhere in the Earth´s
oceans)
-
Disaster management ( storms, volcanic eruptions,
tsunamis and human disasters)
-
Hydrology (management of the safe water supplies)
-
Mapping (whole watching of the Earth´s surface)
-
Geology ( management and exploration of minerals and
fossil combustibles)
-
Agriculture ( constant watching of the crops )
-
Forestry
(constant monitoring of the fire emergences)
(one RADARSAT satellite in the space)
In summary,
these satellites offer an almost unlimited source of information for us, in
Chile we can to use these images for the monitoring of south of our country in
many applications, (remember that these satellites can to see through the
clouds).
I invite to you to know about these modern
devices in the following website:
Till the next week.
