12.5m ALOS DEM in the upper Yangtze River, China


ALOS (Advanced Land Observing Satellite) is a Japanese earth observation satellite, which was launched in 2006. ALOS satellite has three more sensors: panchromatic remote sensing stereo mapper, advanced visible and near-infrared radiometer - 2, and phased array L-band synthetic aperture radar. ALOS-12.5m DEM data is collected by ALOS satellite phased array L-band synthetic aperture radar (PALSAR). The sensor has three observation modes: high-resolution, scanning synthetic aperture radar and polarization. The horizontal and vertical accuracy of the data can reach 12.5 meters.
