Enhanced SAR
Sentinel-1 → 2m, sees through clouds
Optical imagery fails exactly when monitoring matters most — under cloud, smoke, or at night. Synthetic Aperture Radar sees through all of it, illuminating the surface with its own signal and measuring the returned echo regardless of weather or daylight.
EarthToDate enhances Sentinel-1 C-band SAR to 2m and delivers it resampled to 1m, with both VV and VH polarisations and a 10-year archive. Coverage extends across land, seas, and the main ocean shipping routes, refreshed roughly every six days.
SAR underpins flood mapping under storm cloud, ground-movement and subsidence tracking, maritime and vessel monitoring, and any task where a guaranteed observation — not a weather-dependent one — is the requirement.
Frequently asked questions
What is Enhanced SAR?
Optical imagery fails exactly when monitoring matters most — under cloud, smoke, or at night. Synthetic Aperture Radar sees through all of it, illuminating the surface with its own signal and measuring the returned echo regardless of weather or daylight.
What data and resolution does Enhanced SAR use?
All-weather radar at 2m, provided at 1m, refreshed every 6 days — day, night, and through cloud. (Sentinel-1 → 2m, sees through clouds)
