Triple fine beam. The triple fine resolution beam mode is the 3-look version of the fine resolution mode, therefore providing the same spatial resolution with improved radiometric resolution. The 3-looks are made possible by the higher sampling rate of the RADARSAT-2 SAR. The triple fine imaging mode will be available in selective single polarization (HH or VV). 2, record 1, English, - triple%20fine%20beam%20mode
