ASAR dataset of Greenland (2005)- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

This data set contains the wide swath mode Level 1B SAR data acquired over Greenland in 2005 by the ASAR sensor of the ENVISAT-1 satellite. The width is 400 km, the spatial resolution is 75 m, and the absolute positioning accuracy is approximately 200 m.

The SAR data are stored in a time-growth order, which causes the images of the descending track to be left-right mirror images and the images of the ascending track to be up-down images.

The naming scheme for these data is as follows:

ASA_IMS_1PPIPA 20050402_095556_000000162036_00065_16151_0388.N1

ASA: Product identification, ASAR Sensor

IMS: Reception and processing information of the data (imaging modes, such as WS, WSS, IM, ...)

1PPIPA: Customized number

20050402: Acquisition time of the data (UTC time)

095556: Geographic location (start, end)

000000162036: Information on the satellite orbit

00065: Product trust data

16151: Size and structure information of the product

0388 => Check code
