The Next ESA SAR Toolbox (NEST) is used for reading, post-processing, analyzing, and visualizing the large archive of data from ESA SAR missions, including ERS-1 and 2 and ENVISAT. NEST has been built using the Basic ERS and Envisat (A)ATSR and MERIS (BEAM) Toolbox and it covers the functionality of the older Basic Envisat SAR Toolbox (BEST).
