ERS-1-SAR-Radiometric-Calibration.pdf
This paper describes the status of the ERS-1 SAR radiometric calibration with updated measurements on the radiometric stability. The calibration measurements arc performed using the transponders deployed by ESA/ESTEC in Flevoland, The Netherlands. The calibration measurements are the result of a joint effort between the ESA Processing and Archiving Facilities (PAF) and the ERS Central Facility at ESA/ESRIN.
