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.
