The U.S. Geological Survey side-looking airborne radar database: an aid to the interpretation of space images

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has a database of side-looking airborne radar (SLAR) images of a significant part of the continental United States. These images provide a regional view of terrains and should be an aid to better understanding image data of satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and other systems. The USGS has been systematically collecting SLAR since 1980, initially in analog form, then in both analog and digital format since 1984.

MAJOR SOURCE OF SIDE-LOOKING AIRBORNE RADAR IMAGERY FOR RESEARCH AND EXPLORATION: THE U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) instituted a program in 1980 to acquire side-looking airbore radar (SLAR) data and make these data readily available to the public in a mosaic format comparable to the USGS 1:250,000-scale topographic map series. The SLAR data are also available as strip images at an acquisition scale of 1:250,000 or 1:400,000 (depending on the acquisition system), as a variety of print products and indexes, and in a limited amount in digital form on computer compatible tapes. Three different commercial X-band (3-cm) systems were used to acquire the imagery for producing the mosaics.

Review of the stratigraphy and structure of the Gubik anticline

At the direction of Ralph L. Miller, a special study was made of part of the Gubik anticline east of the Colville River. The purpose of this study was two fold; first, the examine the field evidence bearing on east plunge, second, to attempt to establish the continuity of the anticlinal axis from the Colville River to the Anaktuvuk River. The results of this study and a summary of results of the study of part of the anticline west of the Colville River by Stefansson and Thurrell 1/ are presented below.
