The ASAR wide swath mode products

This paper focuses on the characterization of the medium resolution generated by the ASAR ground processing facility installed on the ENVISAT ground segment from the ASAR wide swath mode of acquisition. It introduces the description of their main processing algorithmic features and includes details of the instrument settings used during this acquisition mode and their optimization throughout the ENVISAT commissioning phase period.
