Supported ENVISAT Products

Introduction

This page contains an overview of all ENVISAT products supported by the BEAM software. Each product listed here has a link to it's (raw binary) datasets, to its geophysical content and - where applicable - to a flag coding which provides metadata for the quality flag datasets possibly contained in a product.

Note: The following tables and sub-tables in this document have been automatically generated from the BEAM data descriptor database (DDDB). This database is internally used by the BEAM software. It does therefore not replace ESA's official ENVISAT Product Handbook, which is provided with the ESA EnviView tool.

The tables contained in this document may also be used as a reference for software developers who use the Java API (application programming interface) in order to access ENVISAT products. The data types you'll find in the tables for certain raw data fields and spectral/geophysical can have different representations in different programming languages. The data type conversion table provides developers with the appropriate primitive data types for the the Java and the C programming languages.
