WP4000 sub-themes

CP4O Mid-term Review NOC 25-26 June 2013

For each sub-theme: WP4100 Perform a detailed experimental validation exercise to develop

and validate methods and algorithms WP4200 Validate methods & algorithms and report error analysis and

cross-comparisons in the Product Validation Report (PVR) WP4300 Create detailed description of the final methods and

algorithms into Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents (ATBD)

WP4400 Produce Cryosat-2 products for the Validation Data Set needed in WP5000 for the public round-robin exercise for each of the following: LRM for Open Ocean (TUDelft) SAR for Open Ocean (Starlab, CLS) SAR for Sea Floor Mapping (DTU Space) SAR for Coastal Ocean (NOC, U. Porto, Noveltis) SAR for Polar Ocean (DTU Space) RDSAR for Open Ocean (CLS, TUDelft) Produce Validation Data Set User Manual (isardSAT, SATOC)
