Hi,
From your messages.log file you’re using v1.1.0 of the NovaSAR Product Reader. You need to use the latest version, currently 1.2.2. Please uninstall your version, reboot SNAP and let it install the latest version for you and try again,
Brian

Hi Everyone,
After NovaSAR-1 50m resolution-ScanSAR (SCD) pre-processing, I noticed strange backscattering values (Min: 36.428 Max: 76.054).
Please, can anyone help with some explanations?
