ERS-1/2 SAR IM Medium Resolution L1 [SAR_IMM_1P] 2008-03

This ERS Medium Resolution strip-line product is generated from the Image Mode Level 0 Product. Strip-line image products contain image data for an entire segment, up to a maximum size of 10 minutes per product for IM mode. The processor concatenates together several sub-images called "slices" that were processed separately on a dataset-by-dataset basis in order to form the entire strip-line image. The product is processed to an approximately 150 m x 150 m resolution and has a radiometric resolution that is good enough for ice applications. This product has a lower spatial resolution than the SAR_IMP_1P and SAR_IMS_1P products. The SAR IM L0 full mission data archive has been bulk processed to Level 1 (SAR_IMM_1P) in Envisat format with the PF-ERS processor version 6.01. Product Characteristics: - Pixel size: 5 m (ground range – across track) x 75 m (azimuth – along track) - Scene area: 100 km (range) x at least 102.5 km - Scene Size: 1300 pixels (range) x at least 1350 lines (azimuth) - Pixel depth: 16 bits unsigned integer - Total product volume: at least 3.5 MB - Projection: Ground-range - Number of looks: 8 (azimuth) x 7 (range)
