CryoSat-Mission-and-Data-Document.pdf
The purpose of this document is to provide information about the CryoSat mission and its implementation.
Document - Product Cal/Val Plan/Report
CryoSat-Calibration-and-Validation-Concept.pdf
This document intends to provide a description of a calibration and validation approach that is understandable by wider scientific users of the CryoSat data.

CryoSat-In-Flight-Calibration-Approach.pdf
This document determines the in-flight calibration activities for CryoSat. These activities will (largely) be performed within the Commissioning Phase1 and this document is an input to the overall Commissioning Phase Plan, AD 1.
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.
