3rd International Symposium on Retrieval of Bio and Geophysical Parameters from SAR Data for Land Applications
Proceedings of the symposium held on 11-14 September 2001 at the University of Sheffield, UK. This Symposium provided a snapshot of where we currently stand in exploiting SAR data to understand geophysical and biophysical processes. It identified important areas for future research, in terms of specific problems and general trends: in total, 80 papers were presented on Forestry, Agriculture and Land Cover, Hazards and DTM, Soils and Hydrology, Snow and Ice, Process Modelling.

ANNEX-B-ERS-1-ALT-FDC-Products-CCT-Format-Specifications.pdf
This document deals with the product specification of the Altimeter Fast Delivery Copy. Valid for data processed up until July '95 when there was a switch from CEOS to CCSDS.
Document - Product Document
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.
