Cryosat L2 Data Availability from Kiruna
Cryosat performance is monitored from Level-2 data products provided by the ESA IPF processing centre at Kiruna. Data has been monitored since the start of the operational phase (18-Oct-2010) and this site shows output from all available versions of the IPF processors:
A reprocessing of the full mission using Baseline-B of the IPF processor was completed in December 2013. Baseline-C became operational in April 2015 and products from previous baselines were reprocessed to this baseline. Baseline-D became operational in April 2019 and products were reprocessed to this baseline. Baseline-E became operational in August 2021 and is the current baseline.
