Abstract
The principal instrument of the SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) altimetry mission is KaRIn, a Ka-band interferometric SAR system operating on near-nadir swaths on both sides of the satellite track. This article briefly describes the measurement principle, the processing steps and the specificities of the interferometric SAR data of KaRIn as compared to conventional spaceborne SAR systems.
