Detecting the Depth of a Subsurface Brine Layer in Lop Nur Lake Basin Using Polarimetric L-Band SAR

Figure 1

Field investigation routes and sampling site locations. A, B, and C are field routes in 2006, and I, II, and III are field routes in 2008. The dashed rectangle is the coverage of full-polarimetric SAR data used in the last part of this paper and the red dots are positions of sampling sites of 2013. There is a large salt pond in the middle of the image as a black square. ALOS-PALSAR image (HH polarization, ScanSAR mode) obtained on January 15, 2011, were used as base map.
