Data Tools
ESOV Software Tools
ESOV (Earth Observation Swath and Orbit Visualisation) provides the means to visualise the instrument swaths of all ESA Earth Observation satellites and assist in understanding where and when satellite measurements are made and ground contact is possible.
Data Quality
Data quality, which includes quality control, performance monitoring, and calibration and validation, is routinely carried out to ensure that EarthCARE meets its mission and data quality requirements.
Calibration/Validation
Calibration activities ensure that the EarthCARE instruments are performing well and to their established baselines. Validation activities ensure that the EarthCARE data and products are meaningful and well characterised with respect to uncertainties due to sensitivity or resolution.
Announcements of opportunity
Announcements of opportunity are occasionally opened relating to EarthCARE, for example, for new groups to participate in EarthCARE Cal/Val activities and gain early access to EarthCARE data products.
Processor Releases
Details on the operational EarthCARE processor and previous processor releases are provided below. This table will be updated each time a processor is updated and released.
