Top M-factor Data Base

The short-term m-factor data base consists of an archive of daily m-factor files. Each m-factor file is an ASCII file formatted according to the ENVISAT Product Specification.

The data base covers the whole mission: 02-Aug-2002 until 12-Feb-2012.

The m-factor version is 7.01, valid for Level 1b products version 7.xx. Click here for the release notes.

Notes:
  • M-factors should be applied to Level 1b data of the same major version number only.
  • The m-factor data base is a (gzipped) tar archive which has a size of about 959 MB.
The current database is m-factor_07.01-20120415.tgz.

Click here to download the previous data base V06.01, valid for Level 1b products version 6.xx (02-Aug-2002 until 04-Feb-2010).

Top NRT M-factors (OUTDATED!)

These data are no longer needed!
NRT (near-real-time) M-factors are calculated based on NRT Level 1b data products. They are (usually) released once per week. Each release adds calculated m-factor files for the previous week and predicted m-factor files for the following week to the database. The predicted m-factors will not be choosen by the applicator, if calculated m-factors already available. Each release goes along with a delivery document (MF_delivery_yyyymmdd.pdf).

Click here to enter the directory with NRT m-factors, valid for Level 1b products version 7.xx. The m-factor files itself are in the subdirectory V07.01. The delivery documents are in the subdirectory Delivery_document_07.01.

NRT m-factors contained erroneous values for channel 6,7, and 8 for the time frame 04 February 2010 - 6 April 2010. They are replaced by corrected versions 08 April 2010.
