/ The European Space Agency (ESA) currently supports interferometry and other applications of single-look complex data from the Envisat ASAR through the provision of single-polarised and alternating-polarisation narrow-swath SLC products and SLC wave-mode imagettes. Wide-swath SLC products have not yet been offered to users on an operational basis. ESA has sponsored studies into the generation of single-look complex products from ASAR in its wide-swath mode, and has procured a prototype processor. It now seeks to implement a wide-swath SLC product operationally and act to encourage the widespread exploitation of such data. In support of this implementation, an ad-hoc working group of scientists has been formed to help examine and promote the likely applications of wide-swath SLC data. Significant potential for the exploitation of wide-swath SLC products is believed to exist in a number of user communities. These include those wishing to use large-area INSAR techniques in seismology and other surface movement applications, and in the larger-scale characterisation of atmospheric water vapour. Non-INSAR applications are also expected to have strong interest, especially for oceanography. A wide-swath SLC product may offer the potential to estimate a component of ocean surface currents over a 400km-wide swath and it may similarly extend coverage of contiguous directional wave-spectra.
