SAR VV Small

rasterGeoTIFFEPSG:32633tinybundled

A tiny single-band Sentinel-1 IW GRDH-like scene (VV polarisation): uint16 detected-amplitude DNs (not dB, not calibrated backscatter), zero-valued border-noise columns, sentinel NoData 0. Generated by geocase.raster.presets, whose constants are machine-checked against a real S1A GRD annotation.

Pixels of sar_vv_small, a 16x16 raster, with NoData in magenta
1 band, 16x16 px, uint16, sentinel NoData. Rendered from the case's actual pixels, contrast-stretched for display; NoData is shown in magenta.
