Validation of RGPS Products Ron Lindsay, Harry Stern, Yanling Yu, Drew Rothrock Polar Science Center, Seattle

Validation of RGPS Products is a NASA-funded project under NRA 97-MTPE-03 to study the data products produced by the Radarsat Geophysical Processor System (RGPS) for the purpose of: checking internal consistency and logical constraints; comparing to other data sets to assess accuracy; and suggesting improvements in the products to make them easier to use. We welcome comments from users of RGPS products.
