  1. A new preview version of SNAP is now available for testing.
    It is available from the download page. Your feedback is very welcome as always. Please report issues in the existing SNAP 6 Beta category.

  2. Is this different from the first beta release?

  3. Yes, there shall be some some fixes. Especially regarding SAR processing.

  4. Hi there,

    I know I’m a bit late to the conversation, but since @marpet said there are new features for SAR processing , has the wind field estimation wizard improved? As far as I’ve read, it is suitable for ENVISAT data, but gives some pretty bad results for S1.

    Thanks! :slight_smile:
