Berne Map Image Description
This is a height map derived from a pair of ERS-1 Berne SLC
quarter scenes. The colour is derived from the calculated interferometric height, with one
rotation of the colour wheel being 300 metres. The image brightness is related to the SAR
image intensity.The Aare river is clearly
visible running through the city of Berne and the Wohlensee, into Lake Biel and then to
the northeast. Lake Murten is seen in the southwest corner of the image. The steep Jura
mountains are visible in the image's northwest corner. The slant range image has been
subsampled 3 × 3 after first performing 5 pixel averaging in the azimuth direction.
