The main objective with BIOSAR 2008 was to record SAR data over boreal forests with topographic effects to investigate the effect on biomass retrieval.The BIOSAR 2008 campaign collects in-situ and airborne SAR in support of decisions being taken on satellite instrument configurations for the BIOMASS satellite mission. In addition it provides an important database for the study of longer term mission concepts. While the BIOSAR 2007 campaign collected data with the objective to investigate the effect of temporal decorrelation at P-band with 100MHz and 6MHz bandwidth in southern Sweden, BIOSAR 2008 recorded data at boreal forests with strong topographic effects in northern Sweden to investigate the effect on forest height estimation and radar backscatter signal variation.
