The SMOS Data Viewer (SDV) provides a quick and easy way to view SMOS products and the SMOS auxiliary files used for Level 1 and Level 2 product generation. It is also useful for understanding the structure and contents of the products.
SMOS Data Viewer enables a user to decode and display data from SMOS products, display the product contents as images or graphs and export the data to a number of alternative formats.
Ease of use is emphasised through its simple Graphical User Interface (GUI), designed for data exploration and visualisation. The tool also allows selected data to be exported to the Interactive Data Language to support more complex analysis.
SMOS Data Viewer can be used on Linux, Mac and Windows operating systems.
