burstmap.Sentinel1Bursts

Sentinel-1 Burst ID map.

Usage

Source

burstmap.Sentinel1Bursts(
    cache_dir=None,
    *,
    mode="IW",
)

Sentinel-1 performs systematic acquisition of bursts in both IW and EW modes. The bursts overlap almost perfectly between different passes and are always located in the same place. With the deployment of the SAR processor S1-IPF 3.4, a new element has been added to the products annotations: the Burst ID, which should help the end-user to identify a burst area of interest and facilitate searches.

Important: The Burst ID is unique in each sub-swath. For this reason to identify a burst univocally it is necessary to specify both the “subswath_name” (see below) and the “burst_id”.

Two maps are provided: one for EW and one for IW acquisition modes. The maps have a validity that covers the entire time span of the mission and they are global, i.e., they include as well information where no SAR data is acquired.

Parameters

cache_dir: str | Path | None = None

The root directory where the dataset is stored. Defaults to the ‘FREEZEBASE_CACHE’ environment variable or the system cache directory (in that order).

mode: Mode = "IW"
The Sentinel-1 acquisition mode.
