Abstract :
This paper reviews results from the post launch and commissioning period of ENVISAT in the alternating polarization mode of the ASAR instrument. Particular emphasis is placed on intercomparison of data from point targets deployed in Canada, and the Netherlands and differences in their information are explored.
