English: The images of Russia’s Ozero Nayval Lagoon and surrounding rivers show multiple views from Copernicus satellites. The first is a 10-m resolution ‘camera-like’ image captured on 29 October 2020 by Copernicus Sentinel-2. The peninsula lies on the eastern part of the Bearing Straits. The land-bound lagoon, various river and lake features are clearly visible. The image is marked with the ground track of Copernicus Sentinel-6 as it crosses the region. The second is a radar image captured on 29 November 2020 by Copernicus Sentinel-1 in interferometric wide swath mode and processed to 10 m resolution. The radar look direction is from the right with layover effects seen on the mountainous region to the left of the image. The lagoon has frozen over and numerous cracks are visible in the ice. Ocean swell and wind sea roughness are also seen in the ocean with some wave reflection and refraction on the southern coastal areas. The next image uses Copernicus Sentinel-6 pulse-limited low-resolution mode data for the same area. In this mode, similar to Jason-3, the strongest radar reflections appear as overlapping parabola features, but no discrimination of the ground can be made. Overlying the third image, the Copernicus Sentinel-6 Poseidon-4 fully-focused synthetic aperture radar image reveals features of the Ozero Nayvak Peninsular in fine detail. The high performance and low noise of Poseidon-4 when processed using these ESA-developed techniques reveals exceptional results. In this example, the altimeter data were first processed at a resolution of 1.1 m in the azimuth direction (left to right) and <0.4 m in the range direction (vertical). These data are then further multi-looked in azimuth to reduce speckle noise providing an image at a resolution of ~30 m. The radar backscatter power is coded by colour as a function of across-track range and clearly reveals the vertical elevation of sea ice in the lagoon and low-lying river and lake features. Unlike the Sentinel-1 image, the Sentinel-6 Poseiodon-4 radar is illuminating the scene from the north and in this case, ocean wave structure and refraction at the coastline can be clearly seen.

La première photo à gauche a été prise avec une fr:résolution spatiale de 10 mètres par un satellite fr:Sentinel-2 le 29 octobre 2020. Elle montre le lagon entouré de terres, la rivière et les caractéristiques du lac. La fr:trace au sol du satellite Sentinel-6 lors de son survol est précisée. La deuxième image a été prise le 29 novembre en mode interférométrique par le fr:radar à synthèse d'ouverture d'une satellite fr:Sentinel-1 avec une résolution spatiale de 10 mètres. On distingue les reliefs montagneux sur la gauche. Le lagon a gelé et de nombreuses craquelures sont visibles dans la glace. La houle sur la mer est visible. La troisième image contient des images de fr:Sentinel-6 prise en mode pulsé avec une résolution spatiale basse. Le radar Poseidon-4 de Sentinel-6 permet de distinguer des détails plus fins. L'fr:altimètre radar, dont la précision est de 1,1 m dans le sens du déplacement du satellite et de 0,4 dans la direction orthogonale, permet de mettre évidence l'épaisseur de la glace dans le lagon, le lac et la rivière (codé en couleurs). |
