Further Information

In recent years, the rapid proliferation of remote sensing satellite data has significantly enriched Earth Observation Data (EOD). At the same time, the complexity of data pre-processing and organization has increased significantly. Massive amounts of image data often require complex calibration, format conversion, and quality control to meet the needs of different application scenarios. Analysis Ready Data (ARD) reduces the threshold for users by using standardized processing procedures. These data open up new opportunities for the extensive, convenient, and efficient application of remote sensing data. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) ARD products form the core data type for remote sensing. With their unique advantages of all-weather and all-day imaging capability and high resolution, SAR ARD products break through the bottleneck of traditional optical remote sensing. Traditional optical methods are limited by cloud cover and light conditions. SAR ARD products therefore offer a wide range of solutions for global change research, resource and environmental monitoring, disaster warning and management, agricultural production optimization, urban planning, and many other fields. They provide irreplaceable data support across these diverse areas. In this paper, we start by defining the basic concept of SAR ARD. We systematically sort out its core features and technical connotations and focus on several aspects such as the types of satellite-borne SAR ARD products (including Normalised Radar Backscatter (NRB), Polarimetric Radar (POL), Ocean Radar Backscatter (ORB), and Geocoded Single-Look Complex (GSLC)), their data sources, production organizations, processing technologies, and practical application scenarios. We also categorized and summarized both publicly released products and those still under development, along with their associated processing flows. In addition, this paper introduces the production and management platform of SAR ARD. In the context of the big data era, the SAR ARD management platform based on the Earth Observation Data Cube (EODC) and cloud platform integrates remote sensing data from multiple sources and realizes automated processes such as standardized pre-processing, radiometric correction, and time-series synthesis with Python and database support, which greatly reduces the threshold of user use and facilitates the integration of SAR data with other data sources. However, current SAR ARD products face limitations of insufficient product standardization and diversity due to technical complexity and data characteristics, which affects the wide application of SAR ARD products. The challenges such as the scarcity of high-resolution SAR data, the complexity of SAR data processing, and the instability of SAR image quality further constrain the development of diversified SAR ARD products. In this paper, four countermeasures are proposed, including providing free and open datasets on a global scale, increasing the flexibility of SAR ARD product production, realizing the close integration of ARD products with deep learning models, and realizing the application of SAR ARD products in diverse scenarios. These strategies are expected to address the current challenges, promote the development of high-quality and diversified SAR ARD products, and support the broader diversification and popularization of SAR ARD. In the future, with breakthroughs in the diversity of data products and advances in data production methods, SAR ARD products are expected to provide more support for human development and stronger data support for Earth Observation (EO) with higher efficiency and accuracy.
