Saral validation report, cycle 127
Cycle date | 2019-02-04 - 2019-03-11 |
---|---|
Cycle quality | During this cycle mispointing has reached levels that has not been observed since the pre-SHM period (September 2014). These levels of mispointing are due to attitude deviation, and explains the higher percentage of missing measurements (see section ). Data quality is severely impacted by these events, a large number of measurements are rejected through the validation process due to mispointing (see section ). |
Missing data | Cycle 127 has 44 missing passes and some passes have a large number of missing measurements due to attitude deviation. |
