Level-1 ECHO_PLRM Product: Instrument Status Parameters

Level-1 ECHO_PLRM Product: Instrument status parameters
PARAMETER SAR mode identifier
NETCDF NAME SAR_mode_id_l1b_echo_plrm
DESCRIPTION SAR mode identifier is a flag that indicates the tracking mode of the SRAL instrument:
  1. closed-loop mode: autonomous positioning of the range window using the median algorithm.
  2. open-loop mode: range window position based on a priori knowledge of terrain altitude derived from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM).
  3. open-loop mode fixed gain: range window position based on a priori knowledge of terrain altitude derived from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) set to a fixed gain.
UNITS (0b):Closed loop
(1b):Open loop
(2b):Open loop fixed gain
