Description
English: RADARSAT Ortho-rectified Mosaic of Canada, Lambert Conformal Conic, 250 Metres

Initiated to provide an unique synoptic view of Canada using data acquired from Canada's first Earth Observation Satellite, this digital national mosaic has been produced at a 250m pixel spacing, in a Lambert Conformal Conic (LCC) projection and is orthorectified to standard map bases.

RADARSAT mosaic was produced using Canadian Space Agency's RADARSAT data archive and ScanSAR Narrow B descending mode data. The majority of the data, south of 60 degrees was acquired during the growing seasons of 1998 and 1999. The remaining data were collected during the winters of 1998 and 1999.

The mosaic was produced by the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) in collaboration with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and with contributions from RADARSAT International (RSI).

The development of this project celebrates the fact that RADARSAT-1, originally launched in November of 1995, has reached and passed its five year design life in orbit. The satellite continues to deliver imagery that has been proven effective in a wide range of applications including ice reconnaissance, disaster management, oceanography and agriculture. This digital product has been developed at a number of scales (technically pixel

spacing) to allow a variety of users the ability to download and use this data.
