CryoSat Software Routines are written in ANSI C (American National Standards Institute for the C programming language) and IDL (Interactive Data Language), and can be used to read the CryoSat Level-1 and Level-2 Earth Explorer Format (EEF) products.

The routines have been kindly provided by UCL/MSSL.

Any problems and bugs should be reported to ESA's User Services Portal, <a href="https://esatellus.service-now.com/csp" target="_blank">TellUS</a>.

More detailed documentation and examples are contained in the *.tgz archive.
