Atmospheric Thematic Data Product [MWR_TDPATM]
This is the Atmospheric Thematic Data Product (TDP) V1 resulting from the ESA FDR4ALT project and containing Total Column Water Vapour (TCWV), Cloud Liquid Water Path (LWP), Atmospheric Attenuation of the altimeter backscattering coefficient at Ku-band (AttKu), and Wet Tropospheric Correction (WTC), retrieved from observations of the Microwave Radiometer (MWR) instruments flown on-board the ERS-1, and ERS-2, and Envisat satellites. Compared to existing datasets, the Atmospheric TDP demonstrates notable improvements in several aspects: Improved temporal coverage, especially for ERS-2 Improved L0 -> 1 processing Two different corrections are provided based on a neural network retrieval or on a 1D-VAR approach The FDR4ALT products are available in NetCDF format. Free standard tools for reading NetCDF data can be used. Information for expert altimetry users is also available in a dedicated NetCDF group within the products. Please consult the FDR4ALT Product User Guide before using the data. The FDR4ALT datasets represent the new reference data for the ERS/Envisat altimetry missions, superseding any previous mission data. Users are strongly encouraged to make use of these datasets for optimal results.

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.
