SNAP and the SMOS-Box are user tools which ESA/ESRIN are providing free of charge to the Earth Observation Community.</p> <p>The SMOS-Box software has been developed by <a href="http://www.brockmann-consult.de/">Brockmann Consult</a> under ESA contract initiated by Steven Delwart (ESTEC, ESRIN) and coordinated Peter Regner (ESRIN).</p> <h4>License</h4> <p>SNAP and the SMOS-Box are free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the <a href= "http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html">GNU General Public License</a> as published by the Free Software Foundation.

See the GNU General Public License for more details.</p> <h4>Supported Data Products</h4> <p>Version ${project.version} of the SNAP SMOS-Box is capable of reading SMOS data products complying with Schemas Release 2014-04-04_v06-02-03. The product types supported are listed in the table below. In addition, SMOS L1C NRT products (Earth Explorer, Light-BUFR, BUFR) are supported as well.</p> <table> <tr> <th>Type</th> <th>Level</th> <th>Description</th> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3">SMOS Products</td> </tr> <tr> <td>MIR_BWLD1C</td> <td>1C</td> <td>Browse Land Dual-Polarisation Product.

Therefore SMOS products do not have a geographical boundary </li> <li>Due to the representation of SMOS products as global products, it is not possible to draw lines or shapes crossing the anti-meridian </li> <li>Statistics, scatter plots, histograms and profile plots use image pixel data rather than SMOS grid point data </li> </ul> <h4>Further Information</h4> <p>The most important source of information for SNAP and the SMOS-Box are the <a href="http://forum.step.esa.int/c/smos">SNAP Forum</a> and the <a href="http://www.brockmann-consult.de/beam-wiki/display/SBOX/">SMOS-Box Wiki</a>.</p> <h4>Reporting Issues</h4> <p>You can submit SNAP bug reports or feature request in the SMOS category of the <a href="http://forum.step.esa.int/c/smos">SNAP Forum</a>.</p> <hr/> <p><i>Copyright © 2010-2014 by Brockmann Consult (<a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>).
