ERS-1/2 SAR IM Medium Resolution L1 [SAR_IMM_1P] 1996

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.
