Hi Yunjun,
sorry for disturbing you.

I have two waterMask related issues, single pair processing, S1 data.

1) I would like to insert my water mask (waterMask.rdr) in the processing before phase unwrapping, to avoid phase unwrapping issues over the water.
I put the related row in TopsApp.xml but this is not recognized at all.
Which is the right way to do this? I suppose I have to set also the path to the water mask, is it right?

2) For areas in which I don't already have the water mask and considering the wbd.py script doesn't work anymore, I'm using now the "Earthdata Download" tool to get SRTM SWBD files.
After downloading them, I get *.raw.zip files of each tile: after unzipping, how can I convert these *.raw files in *.wbd files?
I suppose I have to use some GDAL scripts but I don't know how.
And how can I stitch them at the end?

Cheers,
Sven.

Hi Yunjun,
sorry for disturbing you again.
This is just to ask you if you read my message, below.
I'm still facing problems with the water mask, especially in the case I need to create one, having no *wbd files.
Cheers,
Sven
