Hello BRAT forum,
is it possible to digest “C001”-type generation data for L2 SAR data from
CryoSat-2 measurements. It’s the newest data available
on CryoSat website and I want to work with it or at least have to
since there is no other data up for download anymore.

Greetings

Dear Booker,

Yes, you can use BRAT to digest this CryoSat-2 product type.

On page 74 of the User manual, http://www.altimetry.info/filestorage/brat_user_manual.pdf, you have the list of CryoSat products that can be read by BRAT.

Hello BRAT forum,
according to the User manual BRAT con only digest ‘SIR_SAR_2A SIRAL L2 product from SAR step 1 processing’ and ‘SIR_SAR_2B SIRAL L2 product from SAR step 2 processing’. So I think that
SIR SAR 2C unfortunately can’t be digested.

Dear Booker,

The product type that you mentioned should be able to be read by BRAT. The tool was updated in September 2015 to include CryoSat Baseline C products and some new missions such as Sentinel 3 or Jason-3.

If you have any problem with it please explain what error or issue are you having.

There are examples using CryoSat L2 products in the Training section:http://www.altimetry.info/radar-altimetry-tutorial/training-material/

Kind Regards,

BRAT Team
