ENVISAT_AATSR_consolidated_Level-0_dataset_completeness.pdf
This document reports on the completeness of the AATSR consolidated Level 0 dataset. The analysis was performed by IDEAS and includes recommendations for building a clean and complete consolidated Level 0 dataset for reprocessing campaigns
Document - Technical Note
CryoSat-Science-and-Mission-Requirements.pdf
This document describes the CryoSat mission. It aims to provide the scientist and the engineer with an explanation of the importance of the mission, and the basis for the design of the CryoSat satellite and instrument payload.
Document - Technical Note
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.

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-Footprints-ESA-Aresys.pdf
In this paragraph, the beam-limited, the pulse-limited and the pulse-Doppler-limited footprints for CryoSat are discussed.
Document - Technical Note
CryoSat-Mission-and-Data-Description.pdf
The purpose of this document is to provide information about the CryoSat mission and its implementation. The level of detail is intended to be such that the potential users, and other scientists, will be in a position to understand the capabilities and limitations of the system as well as the nature of the information it will deliver.

Inter-comparison-of-Large-Scale-Optical-and-Infrared-Sensors.pdf
Proceedings of the workshop held from 12-14 October 2004 at ESA-ESTEC (Noordwijk, The Netherlands). The objective of the workshop was to present and exchange experiences and knowledge from work on inter-comparing large scale optical sensors at different product levels. This includes the evaluation and reduction of calibration bias and the validation of geophysical product uncertainties.
