Proceedings of the regional seminar on the application of remote sensing techniques to coastal zone management and environmental monitoring
. The synoptic view afforded by orbiting earth sensors can be' extremely valuable for resource evaluation, environmental monitoring and development planning. For many regions of the world, however, cloud cover has prevented the acquisition of remotely sensed data during the most environmentally stressed periods of the year. Synthetic Aperture Imaging Radar (SAR) can be used to pro- • vide valuable data about the condition of the earth's surface during periods of bad weather. Data from the Shuttle Imaging Radar (SIR) A and B have been analysed for agricultural land-use and crop condition assessment, monsoon flood boundary and flood damage assessment, water resource monitoring and terrain modelling, coastal forest mapping and vegetation penetration, and coastal development monitoring. Recent SIR-B results from Bangladesh illustrated the use of such data in the developing countries with monsoon climates, where water resources management and' flood control activities are critical. The availability of SAR satellite data could revolutionize the planning and modelling process.
