ERS-Ground-Stations-Products-Specification.pdf
This document defines all outgoing products generated by the ERS-1 and ERS-2 Ground Stations at: Kiruna, Fucino, Maspalomas, Gatineau and Prince Albert. Products are defined in terms of their structure, content and format. Distribution media are defined in terms of their type and format.
PDS-to-FS-and-NS-Interface-Specification.pdf
This document describes the interfaces between the Foreign Stations (FS) and National Stations (NS) and the PDS. It defines the design of these interfaces. It includes all types of interfaces, electronic and non-electronic (e.g operational) ones.
The Earth Observation Handbook, 2010 Update - Key Tables
This is the 2010 update of the CEOS Earth Observation Handbook. You can browse the live database at http://database.eohandbook.com/ or download the printable PDF of key tables based on the 2010 database contents for a handy reference.
RA-Characterisation-Data.pdf
This document can be regarded as a first issue of the long-awaited RA Characterisation Database. It contains values for all parameters which have been requested, except for some special cases which will be explained later. It contains many other parameters as well. For example it also contains all the parameters used in the LRDPF (and referred to in ER-RP-DSF-SY-0007) except for the parameters forseen to be updated frequently, such as the barometric pressure field (which will come from ECMWF).
Radar-Altimeter-Ground-Processing-Requirement.pdf
This document defines the Fast Delivery Ground Processing Algorithm Requirements for the ERS-1 Radar Altimeter. It does not include the basic tasks of decoding the telemetry stream, and assumes that the relevant parameters have been extracted for ingestion into the algorithms presented here.
