Radar image of Cuxhaven
Fully-polarimetric X-band radar image of Cuxhaven. The image data was acquired by the F-SAR airborne radar system operated by the DLR Microwaves and Radar Institute. The colours result from the different backscattering properties of the objects in the different polarisation modes of the radar signals. Due to the low backscatter, the sea appears predominantly black. The coloured and slightly blurred objects in the sea are ships and channel buoys.
