Why the (A)SAR product name you see in OTF is not what you get?
The (A)SAR product names in the ESA (A)SAR On-The-Fly (OTF) catalogue differ slightly from the actual downloaded files due to the systematic addition of 1.5 seconds' margins before and after the requested scene.
What is the format for ERS and Envisat (A)SAR data available via OTF?

Towards More Efficient Use of Radar-Altimeter Data
Twenty years ago, experimental altimeters on NASA's Skylab and Geos-3 were already demonstrating the potential of such instrumentation. This led in turn to the development and launch by NASA in July 1978 of the Seasat oceanographic satellite mission. Both Geos-3 and Seasat were very successful in their pioneering missions, but were limited somewhat by poor coverage in the case of Geos-3 and an abnormally short mission duration in Seasat's case.
