abstract = "Vertical profiles of forest density are potentially robust
indicators of forest biomass, fire susceptibility and ecosystem
function. Tropical forests, which are among the most dense and
complicated targets for remote sensing, contain about 45% of the
worlds biomass. Remote sensing of tropical forest structure is
therefore an important component to global biomass and carbon
monitoring. This paper shows preliminary results of a multibasline
interfereomtric SAR (InSAR) experiment over primary, secondary,
and selectively logged forests at La Selva Biological Station in
Costa Rica. The profile shown results from inverse Fourier
transforming 8 of the 18 baselines acquired. A profile is shown
compared to lidar and field measurements. Results are highly
preliminary and for qualitative assessment only. Parameter
estimation will eventually replace Fourier inversion as the means
to producing profiles.",
