The current status of the processor is that only some of the calibration parameters have been adequately determined. In particular, there is an arbitrary phase offset for each interferogram. There is evidence of inadequate motion compensation and interferometric phase center alignment in that phase variations along-track are seen. There is also a residual phase-ramp across the scene. Note that phase variations over land are expected due to topography: along-track interferometric processing makes use of an elevation reference for motion compensation. Where this reference is not constant, there will be motion compensation phase variations introduced. The elevation reference is constant over the ocean surface, so this artifact is unique to the land. There is no radiometric calibration for these data.
