<p class="x_x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1f497d">Dear WGCapD colleagues,<br>
<br>
On behalf of the SERVIR Science Coordination Office, we are elated to share with you news about the launch of the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Handbook – a collaboration between the SERVIR and SilvaCarbon programs, and made possible through the support of
the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The SAR Handbook represents the results of 2+ years of work, including fruitful collaboration with representatives of the various hubs from across SERVIR’s global network. We see the SAR Handbook as a
practical guide to help introduce practitioners to the topic of radar remote sensing. We are therefore confident that this can be a resource to support capacity building across CEOS’ network.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt; color:#1f497d">Below, kindly find an email from my colleague and editor Africa Flores (cc’d) announcing the SAR Handbook’s launch. The full 300+ page SAR Handbook can be downloaded from:

Additional resources (e.g. individual tutorials, scripts, and chapters) are available on the SERVIR page at:
