I'm writing to ask the UAVSAR data information in ASF data search webset (https://search.asf.alaska.edu/). When I search for UAVSAR data in Mondah, Gabon site acquired on 03/06/2016, there are 18 scenes. Such as, UA_Mondah_27080_16013_001_160306_L090_CX_01, UA_Mondah_27080_16013_001_160306_L090_CX_02...UA_sixtym_27082_16013_009_160306_L090_CX_01...What are the naming rules for the scenes? What's the difference between CX_01 and CX_02?
In UAVSAR JPL website (https://uavsar.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/data.pl), the UAVSAR data in Mondah, Gabon site acquired on 03/06/2016 is named Mondah_TM270, consists of 9 scenes. Are the data in this two websites the same? What the differences between these 18 scenes and 9 scenes?
Additionally, is there any technical reports or documents of 2016 NASA AfriSAR campaign?

Hello,
Additional AfriSAR Campaign data and related information can be found at the ORNL DAAC.

UAVSAR data available from ASF have been processed at JPL and sent to ASF for distribution. No further processing is done once a product is received at ASF. The only change made is to add a UA_ prefix to a JPL product name.

Documentation for the UAVSAR products is available from JPL, and this includes the file naming schema:

• https://uavsar.jpl.nasa.gov/science/documents.html

For the PolSAR products you included as examples, the _01 and _02 part of the filename indicates there are two processing versions available for the same scene.

The way the JPL website displays the products for a scene and the way ASF bundles the products is different, but the number of products is the same.

Thank you for your documentation. Now I know the numbers 01 and 02 indicate the processing version number, the first/second interation of processing. For example, if I use the data 01 or 02 to do the PolSAR forest parameter inversion, will the experimental results the same? Does the processing version I choose effects the inversion performance?

Newer versions should reflect improvements/enhancements/corrections to the processing algorithm. I would suggest that you pick the latest version and only use these data for your analysis.
