Software update release containing:

  • New Static Aux Data files integrated to align the range bias with the IPFDB used for Baseline-C Ice Processing
  • Updated instrumental Look-Up Tables (LUT) determined by CLS in the frame of COP expertise activities

* L1 IOP from validity 25/03/2015 to 01/04/2015L1 and L1 GOP from validity 22/02/2015 to 01/04/2015 is a hybrid form using the old Baseline-B orbit model.
