Hi all. I’ve noticed some errors in processing S1 coming from the Terrain Flattening and Terrain Correction operators in SNAP 10.
I believe I’ve narrowed it down to incorrect pixel values at the edges of CopDEM 30m tiles from the Auto Download option (I’m not quite sure of the actual source of this data).
This seems to have been introduced in SNAP 10, and hasn’t occurred in SNAP 9 with the same/similar graph.
Has the location of the auto-downloaded tiles changed that might have introduced these problems? They might need re-processing to remove the band of incorrect pixels.
It also seems that the old DEM GeoTiffs were “deflate” compressed, whereas the new ones are not compressed at all.
Sample images over the UK, but looks like a regular problem that could affect all CopDEM tiles.

The auto-downloaded “Copernicus 30m Global DEM” tiles in SNAP’s auxdata folder, showing a band of low value pixels at the border (specifically, 2 pixels at the top border, and 1 pixel on the left) at the location of the backscatter artefacts.
