Le profilographe aéroporté(PA) est un altimètre RADAR enregistreur à faisceau étroit qui détermine les profils topographiques pour la cartographie des régions éloignées. L'instrument comporte un émetteur d’impulsions de 3, 2 cm qui alimente un radiateur parabolique installé sous l'aéronef. Cette antenne dirige la radiation à la verticale, vers le bas, et la hauteur de l'aéronef est mesurée par le chronométrage électronique de l'impulsion réfléchie. Les données altimétriques apparaissent sous la forme d’un graphique continu. Lorsque l'aéronef est maintenu à une hauteur constante au-dessus du niveau de la mer, selon la mesure de l'altimètre barométrique, l'enregistrement graphique correspond au profil du sol sous l'aéronef. 3, record 2, French, - enregistreur%20de%20profils%20a%C3%A9roport%C3%A9

The RADARSAT Antarctic Mapping Mission (AMM) has important significance for the scientific community. Almost 70% of the Earth's fresh water is contained in the Antarctic region, and changes in this enormous reservoir directly influence world sea levels and climate. The new digital radar map will provide an unprecedented detailed portrayal of the surface form and features of the ice sheet. This RADARSAT based map will help scientists to better understand the dynamic behaviour of the ice sheet and provide them with a greater insight into the effects of human activity on the Southern Continent. 2, record 3, English, - Antarctic%20Mapping%20Mission

La Mission de cartographie de l'Antarctique par RADARSAT est d’une grande importance pour la communauté scientifique puisque cette région contient près de 70 pour 100 des réserves d’eau douce de la planète et que toute modification touchant cet immense réservoir a une incidence directe sur le climat et le niveau des eaux dans le monde entier. Une mosaïque d’images numériques haute résolution de l'inlandsis et des parties non recouvertes du continent sera constituée à partir d’images RADARSAT. La nouvelle carte radar numérique fournira un relevé d’un niveau de précision sans précédent des caractéristiques et du relief de l'inlandsis. Cette carte constituée à partir d’images RADARSAT aidera les scientifiques à mieux comprendre le comportement dynamique de l'inlandsis ainsi que les répercussions de l'activité humaine sur le continent austral. 2, record 3, French, - Mission%20de%20cartographie%20de%20l%27Antarctique

[...] Concernant la cartographie des inondations en particuliers, la phase de l'onde radar pourrait apporter des éléments supplémentaires pour infirmer ou confirmer la présence d’eau, mais nécessiterait d’importants développements pour être utilisable en temps rapide pendant la crise. D'autres modes de fonctionnement à haute résolution temporelle, tels que le champ large ou la basse résolution, seraient à évaluer pour réaliser des cartes à très grande échelle, surveiller de grands bassins et disposer ainsi d’une vision d’ensemble de la situation. 2, record 6, French, - cartographie%20des%20inondations
