Polarimetric analysis

[ABraun]

only with SLC data and only to a limited amount because Sentinel-1 only has 2 polarisations:

Please see here for further explanation:

Sentinel-1 SLC Polarimetric Decomposition

most of the decompositions require 4 polarizations: HH, HV, VH and VV. However, most of the Sentinel-1 data in IW mode is in only one or two polarizations: There are studies which apply decompositions on dual polarized SAR data: You can chose the Entropy-Alpha Dual Pol Decomposition for a try.

How Decompose Sentinel-1 GRDH data

Polarimetric decomposition can only be done with the SLC products. http://sentinel1.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/S1TBX%20Polarimetry%20Tutorial.pdf most of the decompositions require 4 polarizations: HH, HV, VH and VV.
