Overall the software is in the alpha phase and the usual caveats apply.
A few features, identified as technology preview below, are not fully usable yet.

  • supports the following data products as distributed by ESA:
    • Sentinel-1 Single Look Complex (SLC):
      • Stripmap (SM)
      • Interferometric Wide Swath (IW)
      • Extra Wide Swath (EW)
      • Wave (WV) - technology preview
    • Sentinel-1 Ground Range Detected (GRD) SM/IW/EW/WV - technology preview
  • creates ready-to-use Xarray Datasets that map the data
    lazily and efficiently in terms of both memory usage and disk / network access
  • reads all SAR imagery data: GRD images, SLC swaths and SLC bursts
  • reads several metadata elements:
    satellite orbit and attitude, ground control points, radiometric calibration look up tables,
    Doppler centroid estimation and more
  • reads uncompressed and compressed SAFE data products on the local computer or
    on a network via fsspec - technology preview
  • allows larger-than-memory and distributed processing via dask
