<dc:description>This dataset is a Fundamental Data Record (FDR) resulting from the _$$ESA FDR4ALT project$$ https://www.fdr4alt.org/ .&#13;The Fundamental Data Record for Radiometry V1 products contain intercalibrated Top of the Atmosphere brightness temperatures at 23.8 and 36.5 GHz. The collection covers data for the ERS-1, ERS-2 and Envisat missions, and is built upon a new processing of Level 0 data, incorporating numerous improvements in terms of algorithms, flagging procedures, and corrections.&#13;&#13;Compared to existing datasets, the Radiometry FDR demonstrates notable improvements in several aspects:&#13;&#13;New solutions for instrumental effects (ERS Reflector loss, Skyhorn, and Sidelobe corrections)&#13;Native sampling rate of 7Hz with enhanced coverage&#13;The FDR4ALT products are available in NetCDF format. Free standard tools for reading NetCDF data can be used.&#13;Information for expert altimetry users is also available in a dedicated NetCDF group within the products.&#13;Please consult the _$$FDR4ALT Product User Guide$$ https://earth.esa.int/eogateway/documents/d/earth-online/fdr4alt-products-user-guide before using the data.&#13;The FDR4ALT datasets represent the new reference data for the ERS/Envisat altimetry missions, superseding any previous mission data. Users are strongly encouraged to make use of these datasets for optimal results.</dc:description>
