Polarisation Codelist

Polarisation Codelist

The value domain of Polarisation Codelist is defined in the following table.

Note: Following ISO 19115-2, DMF defined 2 attribute (transPolarisation and setPolarization) for transmitted and detected polarisation. In order to provide HH, VV or mixte male, please select either the horizontal, or the vertical value of the codelist for both attibutes.

#	Code	English Name	Definition	Source
1	horizontal	Horizontal polarization	Linear polarisation with the lone electric vector oriented in the horizontal direction in antenna co-ordinates. (earth.esa.int)
2	vertical	Vertical polarization	Linear polarisation with the lone electric vector oriented in the vertical direction in antenna co-ordinates.(earth.esa.int)
3	leftCircular	Left Circular	polarization of the sensor oriented in the left circular plane in relation to swath direction (cf. ISO 19115-2)
4	rightCircular	Right Circular	polarization of the sensor oriented in the right circular plane in relation to swath direction (cf. ISO 19115-2)
