Abstract
The Centre Aval de Traitement des Données SMOS (CATDS), developped by the CNES in collaboration with the CESBIO and IFREMER, is dedicated to :
- Product and distribute SMOS L3/L4 products (from L1B products from the ESA Data Processing Ground Segment),
- Reprocess SMOS L3/L4 products when necessary,
- Propose improvements of the L0 to L2 processing chains (possibly helping to fine tune the calibration aspects); once validated, these algorithms will be proposed for a transfer to ESA Data Processing Ground Segment,
- Provide services & hot-line support to L3/L4 users,
- Develop, test and validate algorithms for L3 and L4 processing chains, in close cooperation with the scientific community.
