5. 8th EnviSat Calibration and Validation Progress Meeting ESRIN, 05/12/01 5 ESLs/IPF/F-PAC readiness review ESLs ready for EnviSat launch: –ref. processors code and DPMs/IODDs updated and checked by ESA –new e-2-e TDS produced to test the new algorithms/interfaces in IPF/F-PAC –frozen state of ref. Processors codes/documentation IPF upgrade on-going: –new documents/TDS delivered by ESA to ALCATEL F-PAC software upgrade on-going: –e-2-e TDS available for F-PAC testing –discrepancies between IPF and F-PAC identified

6. 8th EnviSat Calibration and Validation Progress Meeting ESRIN, 05/12/01 6 Conclusions Strategies for L2 algorithms verification already specified –see RA2/MWR Level 2 algorithms verification and products validation plan (PO-PL-ESR-RA-0034 iss. 1.c) for more details Tools needed for these activities already developed (MSSL) or under development (CLS)
