New 2023 Version 3.0! Layman’s Interpretation Guide to L-band and C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar Data
ceos.org
This “layman’s” guide was developed to provide users who have little or no experience of spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data with a simple reference document that outlines some basic concepts of radar remote sensing, presents some commonly used SAR datasets, and provides some examples of how a few different land cover types may appear in SAR imagery.
This 2023 update features new description of the ALOS and Sentinel-1 products (both now CEOS-ARD compliant), replacement of some examples with more recent data, as well as general updates and corrections.
CEOS ARD Webinar #2 (SAR) – February 1 & 2, 2021

This webinar was organised by CEOS to inform about the CEOS Analysis Ready Data (CEOS ARD) specifications developed for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors.
ViewCEOS Interoperability Terminology
ceos.org
In the context of Earth remote sensing, the terms Analysis Ready Data (ARD), interoperability, and harmonization are often used and, to a large extent, used inconsistently. This is particularly problematic in areas where interoperability is increasingly important but not well defined like the CEOS Analysis Ready Data and Future Data Access and Analysis fields. The objective of this document is to define a set of terms to be used in exchanges across CEOS agencies and activities and eventually contribute to broader discussion in Earth Observation (EO) communities including commercial entities and standards bodies.

ViewFORCE: Framework for Operational Radiometric Correction for Environmental monitoring
uni-trier.de
FORCE is intended to be an all-in-one solution for the mass-processing of selected medium-resolution satellite image archives to enable large area + time series applications. Currently supported are Landsat 4/5 TM, Landsat 7 ETM+, Landsat 8 OLI and Sentinel-2 A/B MSI. The software is capable of processing Level 1 products as obtained from space agencies to Level 2–4 products, including Analysis Ready Data.
