     The `username`/`password` pair are the appropriate Earthdata Login credentials that are used to access NASA data. This file is necessary for downloading the Sentinel-1 files, and auxiliary data. Additionally, the [`requests`](https://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/) library automatically uses credentials stored in the `~/.netrc` for authentification when none are supplied.

+## Generate an ARIA-S1-GUNW using CDSE for Sentinel-1 Download
+
+By default, Sentinel-1 SLC granules are downloaded from the [Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF)](https://asf.alaska.edu/). As an alternative, particularly suited for European users or those operating within the European cloud ecosystem, granules can be downloaded from the [Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem (CDSE)](https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/) by passing `--download-source cdse`. Metadata lookups and bounding box checks still use ASF, so a valid `~/.netrc` entry for `urs.earthdata.nasa.gov` remains required. Additionally, CDSE credentials must be configured as described in the *Additional setup* section above.

 ## What makes an ARIA-S1-GUNW Product *standard*?
 
 Each ARIA-S1-GUNW at the ASF that ensures that down-stream analysis by [ARIA-Tools](https://github.com/aria-tools/ARIA-tools) and [Mintpy](https://github.com/insarlab/MintPy) is done consistently and reproducibly. There are a number of exposed parameters in this plugin that we require to be set in a certain manner for a product to be considered "standard". We now discuss the standard parameters with respect to this plugin.
