Abstract
This paper reviews the method and results of the airborne SAR survey which was conducted by NEDO (New Energy Development Organization) as a part of the Nation-Wide Geothermal Survey Project. The whole Japanese Islands except IzuOgasawara Islands were covered by non-stereo/west-look SAR images. In addition to this, main geothermal area was covered by non-stereo/northlook images and Izu peninsula was covered by stereo/north and west-look images. The SAR holographic date was processed through an optical correlator to present the mosaic image of scale 1 : 200, 000. The geological and geothermal interpretation of the images are now under progress.
This paper presents several SAR images as well as maps produced from SAR images. Some technical problems arisen during the data acquisition (flight) are also presented.
