Purpose
Standard products are imported into the SARscape Data Format for further processing.
Technical Note
Special formatting parameters characterize SLC data coming from some archive and processing facilities; these are selectable, by using the "version" pull down menu, for the following stations:
| - | The Alaska Satellite Facility format is imported using the "radarsat_slc_asf" version. |
| - | the ScanEx Facility format is imported using the "radarsat_slc_scanex" version. |
SCN (ScanSAR) data can be provided as 8 or 16 bit products, a different "version" is provided to import one or the other.
It must be finally noted that some processing inaccuracy has been identified in some multi-look ground range data (i.e. SGF format) generated at GISTDA (Thailand); they cause scene location errors once these products are geocoded.
Supported Products
| SCN | ScanSAR Narrow Beam Multi-look Ground Range. |
| SCW | ScanSAR Wide Beam Multi-look Ground Range. |
| SGF | Multi-look Ground Range Fine. |
| SLC | Single Look Complex. |
