Decoding-Software-for-ERS-Data-for-FM94-BUFR.pdf
This document describes how to decode ERS Low Bit Rate (LBR) Fast Delivery (FD) products from the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) standard FM94 BUFR format required for transmission to users via the WMO Global Telecommunications System (GTS).
Document - Technical Note
Draft-specification-of-ATSR-SADIST-2-products.pdf
This document is a draft specification of the scientific products from RAL's SADIST-2 ATSR data-processing software. Since SADIST-2 is being developed such that it can process data from both ATSR-1 and ATSR-2 instruments, the products described here have been designed to be sufficiently flexible and modular that they are equally valid for either instrument.
Activity - Projects
Dragon 2 Cooperation Programme
The Dragon 2 Programme focussed on the exploitation of ESA, ESA's Third Party Missions and Chinese Earth observation data for science and applications development in land, ocean and atmospheric applications.
Mission - Heritage Missions
Envisat
Envisat was ESA's successor to ERS. Envisat carried ten instruments aboard for a wide range of Earth observing fields. The mission was operational from 2002 to 2012.

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
Activity - General activities
EO Summer Schools
ESA's series of summer schools, on Monitoring of the Earth System, aims to promote the exploitation of Earth observation (EO) data.
Mission - Heritage Missions
ERS
The ERS programme was composed of two missions, ERS-1 and ERS-2, which together observed the Earth for 20 years, from 1991 to 2011.
Document - Product Cal/Val Plan/Report
