24 November 2009 Starting on 24th November 2009 and progressively thereafter at all processing centres across the Envisat ground segment, a new version of the ASAR processor [05.03L03] will be used to generate Near-Real Time (NRT) and off-line products. This is a switch of processing platform (from AIX to Linux) and NOT a change of algorithm.
The change is expected to be transparent to the users as an extensive validation process has been completed.
