1) Pol-InSAR techniques have been demonstrated to accurately estimate forest height at P-band wavelengths over different forest types and terrains using airborne data. Forest height was retrieved to within 1.9-6m (10-30% error) compared to lidar measurements. 2) Transitioning the techniques for use on a spaceborne mission like BIOMASS presents challenges related to decreased spatial resolution, limited baseline configurations, and increased temporal decorrelation. 3) Modeling suggests the spaceborne system could achieve 20-40% accuracy in forest height estimation over heights ranging from 10-60m, but performance may decrease over sloped terrain or heterogeneous forests.
