6.6.9 Geolocation Grid ADSRs
The Geolocation Grid is a table which lists the
slant range time, incidence angle, and geodetic
latitude and longitude positions at various
range/azimuth positions within the image. The
location of each tie point (or grid point) in
the image is specified by
a line and
sample co-ordinate system. Tie point locations
in azimuth are specified using the Zero Doppler
Time stamp found at the start of each range
line in the MDS. The location in range is
specified by the number of range samples. Tie
points must
be placed at points
corresponding to an integer number of range
samples, and tie points must be located at least
the following 3 points within those
reported: the first range sample of the range
line, the mid swath range sample, and the last
range
sample of the range line.
For Geocoded products, the Zero Doppler Time
stamp does not apply. Therefore, it is set to
zero, and only the range line number is used
to index the grid entries. The grid
spacing in azimuth defines the granule size of the
ASAR product. That is, a grid line provides tie
points for the first line and last line of a
granule. There will be 11 grid updates in range per
ADSR. In azimuth, a new ADSR will be added to the
ADS nominally every:
- 10 km in azimuth for IM and AP;
- 40 km in azimuth for WS and GM.
The contents of a Geolocation Grid ADSR
are shown below:

line_num
Range line
number corresponding to the
first line of the granule within
the slice.
Warning: (1) This is not
always the record number of
the corresponding image
MDSR. Use the number of
lines per granule field to
determine the image MDS
record corresponding to each
record of tie points.(2) For
a stripline product, which
may consist of multiple
slices in a single MDS, this
number is reset to 1 at the
beginning of each slice.(3)
For child products, which
are subsets of a full
product, the range line
number in the first record
may not be 1.
