In EOS-04 Level-2B Normalized Radar Backscatter Analysis Ready Data (ARD)Product, terrain induced variations are normalized by the local illuminated area. The normalization of backscatter values provides true backscatter of the land cover irrespective of plain or hilly terrain. The geolocation accuracy of Level-2B is guaranteed to be within 30m, and hence considered suitable for temporal studies. EOS04–NRB data products for MRS and CRS ScanSAR imaging modes are in compliance with CEOS ARD NRB v1.0 Product Family Specifications.
