Abstract

This reference only dataset contains Sentinel-1 data that has been modified to provide a Normalised Radar Backscatter, Analysis Ready Dataset over Gibraltar. Two months' of data are provided for each area in the CARD4L v3.2.2 standard format. The data is designed to be used with the ESA SNAP toolbox. UK Analysis-Ready Data (ARD) tests in support of the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) Standards is a project run by the Group on Earth Observations (GEO)/CEOS office. The purpose of the project was to demonstrate the UK's ability to produce ARD to the specified CEOS Analysis Ready Data for Land (CARD4L) standards. The GEO/CEOS office is hosted by NCEO and funded by UK Space Agency, DEFRA and NERC.
