The power reflection coefficients are derived by fitting altimeter echoes from the fan-beam altimetry antenna as a function of time to Hagfors' radar backscatter model templates. The values are then corrected for the presence of multiple echo peaks and further corrected for diffuse scattering using backscatter data obtained by the side-looking mode of the Magellan radar. The reflectivities are then filtered to remove low-frequency instrument calibration errors, and re-sampled into sinusoidal, Mercator, and north and south polar stereographic projections at a resolution of about 5x5 kilometers per pixel. Each GREDR image pixel is represented by a 8-bit unsigned integer. In sinusoidal images, pixels lying outside the domain of the projection are set to zero. In all images, pixels with unknown or unmeasured values are also set to zero. The remaining values are related to the reflectivity by the following equation: DN = (REFLECTIVITY * 200) + 1 See: Software Interface Specification Document (Peter G. Ford, 1991, Global Altimetry and Radiometry Data Records, MIT-MGN-GxDR SIS Version 2.3, 40 p.) that is included on GxDR CD-ROMs. Note: There exist photoproducts that are identified as GxDRP (where x is E (Emissivity), S (Slope), RE (Reflectivity), or T (Topography)) however, they are not generated from the digital GxDR products. They are instead produced from the Magellan ARCDR (Altimetry and Radiometry Composite Data Record) data files."
