Photoanalysis of coastal areas can give ambiguous results when parameters such as mobility and trafficability need be determined. Multiband imaging radar can augment or replace photography for such applications. Preliminary evidence shows that L-band imaging radar will (1) penetrate most wetlands vegetation species to delineate obscured shorelines, and (2) discriminate varying levels of substrate saturation and thus, potentially, quantify varying degrees of trafficability. We know that X-band radar can map many species of wetlands vegetation with good accuracy. The combination of L- and X-bands should provide a significant breakthrough for wetlands reconnaissance and mapping.
