This presentation shows the results obtained from a scientific assessment on the use of GDR-D improved orbit standard and of the consequent improvement in the Sea Surface Height and Sea Level Anomaly Data of altimeter GDR data (A. Ollivier, OSTST 2011)
This document presents an overview of the monitoring and Cal/Val results of the mini-commissioning phase for the RA2 System after ENVISAT orbit lowering occurred on October 2010
This document contains user information relative to the operational implementation of the RA2/MWR Level 1b IPF version up to v6.04 and Level 2 processor CMA v9.3 used to generate Altimetry Data Set 2.1
GDR cyclic report 85, first cycle entirely reprocessed with the IPF processing chain V6.04 and the CMA Reference Software V9.3.05. Comments on major changes occurred for the two processors and their impact are included
This paper presents the method implemented to correct the anomalous data as well as the assessment of the quality and performance of the corrected data through two different analyses.
This paper describes the algorithm developed for the L1b processor that allows to set a flag identifying the data affected by the S-Band anomaly and reconstruct normal echo waveforms
For an unknown reason a change of behaviour of the Ultra Stable Oscillator (USO) clock frequency occurred on February 2006 and impacted the quality of the RA-2 range parameter. The purpose of this study is to design a method to correct the anomalous data and assess the quality and performance of the corrected data.
This document describes evolutions implemented in the new IPF and CMA versions affecting both the products format and the algorithm used for evaluating the different products fields.
