Catalogue assessment and metadata evidence

Assessment recorded

Completed catalogue decisions are recorded separately from technical inspection and scientific validation. Access and metadata evidence retain their original dates and scope.

Completed catalogue assessment

Eligibility decision: Include · Include Supporting Metadata
Assessment date: 28 September 2026
Decision reason: Native source identity, relation to event or baseline, information role and available access route meet the inventory scope.
Information role: Supporting
Scientific validation: not_performed_by_catalogue_review
Rights: NASA NISAR science data documented free/open; Earthdata registration required for protected science routes
Coverage Interpretation: Native acquisition and footprint are parent-scene properties, not preview georeferencing
Recorded access: Registration Required As Documented
Source assessment: Native source identity, relation to event or baseline, information role and available access route meet the inventory scope.
Limitations: Urgent-response radar product. Its processing level and radar parameters do not alone establish flood extent or field-validated damage.; NASA documents free Earthdata registration. This review did not sign in or retrieve protected science files; anonymous denial is not a finding that the dataset is unavailable.
