Document - User Guide
Altimeter-and-Microwave-Radiometer-ERS-Products-User-Manual.pdf
This document assists users of ERS OPR and VLC CERSAT products (altimeter and microwave sounder GDR), by providing a comprehensive description of product formats and contents.
Document - User Guide
Altimeter-Waveform-Product-ALT-WAP-Compact-User-Guide.pdf
This document is a user guide for the Altimeter Waveform Product (ALT.WAP) produced by the United Kingdom Processing and Archiving Facility (UK-PAF). It provides information about the parameters which are contained in the Waveform Product and describes the product format in order to allow users to extract these parameters. This document is intended for use by scientists who are familiar with Altimeter data, though not necessarily with ERS-1/2 Altimeter data.

Annex-D-ERS-1-ALT-OPR-Product-CCT-Format.pdf
This product aims at providing the users with geophysically corrected altimeter measures over ocean, including all the engineering corrections and all the geophysical corrections due to the troposphere, the ionosphere and the electromagnetic bias. In addition, the surface altitude over the ellipsoid is calculated, correcting for the surface elevation due to tides and geoid.

The workshop on ERS mission's Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) instrument gathered researchers and specialists working on different applications of the mission.
Document - General Reference
BIOMASS-Report-for-Mission-Selection-An-Earth-Explorer-to-observe-forest-biomass.pdf
The objective of the BIOMASS Mission is to determine the global distribution of forest biomass by reducing the uncertainty in the calculation of carbon stock and fluxes associated with the terrestrial biosphere.
Document - Product Cal/Val Plan/Report
Cal-Val evaluation of REAPER ERS altimeter data
The aim of this document is to present the results of the mission performance analysis performed at CLS on REAPER products. The final goal of this activity is to validate the REAPER processing scheme before performing a full reprocessing of altimeter data for the ERS-1 and ERS-2 missions.
