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

Figure 8

The distribution of retrieved subsurface brine layer depth from the heart to the shore of the lake. To get the depth line 53 ROIs (regions of interest) were selected. The base map is HV polarization L-band ALOS image. Significant fluctuations of the subsurface brine layer depth along the center to the shore of the lake can be seen. Three anomaly areas of the depth profile are marked out by yellow boxes.
