    CryoSat-2-New-Mean-Sea-Surface-for-the-L2-SAR-Chain.pdf

    POM were asked to supply a new mean sea surface for use in sea ice freeboard retrieval in the second pass of the Baseline-C L2 SAR chain. The mean sea surface used in previous releases of the L2 SAR chain was constructed by UCL in 2004 for use with CryoSat-1.

    CryoSat-Data-Processing-Concept.pdf

    The purpose of this document is to provide information to groups or individuals with an interest in this activity that will aid the focussing and planning of their activity. It contains an outline of the schedule and approach to the development of pre-launch and post-launch baseline processing algorithms, together with an identification of new processing algorithms whose optimisations requires particular post-launch attention.
