Abstract

Abstract. This paper presents the RDSAR, SAR/SARin & FF-SAR altimetry processors available in the ESA Altimetry Virtual Lab (AVL) hosted on the EarthConsole® platform. An overview on processors and features as well as preliminary analyses using AVL output data are reported to demonstrate the quality of the ESA Altimetry Virtual Lab altimetry services. Soon additional processors from ESA research contracts will be added to the AVL portfolio to continue providing innovative solutions to the radar altimetry community.
