RADARSAT-1 Data Access and Tools

RADARSAT-1 collected Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from 1995-2008, archived at NASA’s Alaska Satellite Facility Distributed Active Archive Center (ASF DAAC). The instrument had worldwide coverage, with extensive coverage of Arctic Ocean sea ice. The datapool contains ASF DAAC standard beam odd frames, as well as the first and last frame of each imaged swath. The datapool also contains all Fine Beam 1 frames in a CEOS — Level 0 and Level 1 framed format.
