Wolverine Radar Company received a $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the NOAA Small Business Innovation Research Program to develop impermeability monitoring solutions using synthetic aperture radar data. The company will compare impermeability scores for Ann Arbor, Michigan derived from publicly available Copernicus Sentinel-1 radar data to scores obtained from high-resolution aerial photography. While the radar data has lower resolution than aerial images, radar is more sensitive to human-made surfaces. This award will allow Wolverine Radar to test the feasibility of using lower-cost radar data to monitor impermeability and stormwater retention over large areas, with the goal of scaling the technology globally. The project period is from September 1, 2022 to February 28, 2023.
