Wave heights across SWOT swaths: evolution of processing and calibration of interferometric SAR coherence

I’m forwarding here some updates from Alejandro Bohe (CNES) incuding tools for re-calibrating the recent SWOT data (since October 2024).

which will also help navigate the different version of the SWOT processing as the algorithm have evolved:

KaRIn product versions denoted by CRID e.g (PIA0, PIA1, PIB0, PIC0, PGC0, PIC2…).
• second letter : I or G.
• I = « forward processing » (typically less than 3 days after data is acquired)
• G = global reprocessing (uses refined orbits etc…)
• third letter + number = « algorithm versio
