Abstract
Side-looking airborne radars (SLAR) use either a slant range or a ground range imagery presentation. Because slant range imagery lacks geometric proportionality, mosaic preparation is difficult. Although ground range imagery would greatly simplify the construction of a radar mosaic, interpretive data loss caused by radar layover in mountainous areas would be more prevalent than with a slant range display. Analysis of terrain geometry, radar shadow, and radar layover provides evidence that a dual mode of image recording will be necessary for optimum geoscience interpretation and simplification of mosaicking.
