Japanese airborne Pi-SAR-L2 and PiSAR-L data were used in this analysis. Several L-band full polarimetric parameters, including backscattering coefficient (\u03c3\u00b0), coherence between two polarimetric states, four-component decomposition parameters (double-bounce\/volume\/surface\/helix scattering), and eigenvalue decomposition parameters (entropy\/\u03b1\/anisotropy), were calculated to determine the most appropriate parameters for detecting landslide areas. The change in land cover from forest before the disaster to bare soil after the disaster was detected well by \u03b1, and coherence between HH and VV. Observational data from the bottom to the top of the landslide detected the landslide well, whereas observations from the opposite sides were not as useful, indicating that a smaller local incident angle is better to distinguish landslide and forested areas. Soil from the landslide intruded into the urban areas; however, none of the full polarimetric parameters showed any significant differences between the landslide-affected urban areas after the disaster and unaffected areas before the disaster.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs8040282","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,29]],"date-time":"2016-03-29T16:00:28Z","timestamp":1459267228000},"page":"282","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Pi-SAR-L2 Observation of the Landslide Caused by Typhoon Wipha on Izu Oshima Island"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Manabu","family":"Watanabe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Observation Research Center, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, 2-1-1 Sengen, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8505, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4467-0148","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rajesh","family":"Thapa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Observation Research Center, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, 2-1-1 Sengen, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8505, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masanobu","family":"Shimada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Observation Research Center, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, 2-1-1 Sengen, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8505, Japan"},{"name":"Tokyo Denki University, Ishizaka, Hatoyama-machi, Hiki-gun, Saitama 350-0394, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1234","DOI":"10.1080\/01431161.2011.554453","article-title":"ALOS\/PALSAR full polarimetric observations of the Iwate-Miyagi Nairiku earthquake of 2008","volume":"33","author":"Watanabe","year":"2012","journal-title":"Int.
