Abstract
This paper presents the main characteristics of the advanced synthetic aperture radar (ASAR) instrument on board ENVISAT, ASAR products, the challenges in the ASAR calibration and product validation, the methodology used to perform the sensor performance monitoring and product calibration based on the special ASAR features and dedicated calibration sites and finally a summary on the product quality status will also be provided.
