Saral validation report, cycle 130
Cycle date | 2019-05-20 - 2019-06-24 |
---|---|
Cycle quality | Mispointing levels during this cycle are lower than during the previous cycles but still higher than nominal value. These levels of mispointing are due to attitude deviation, and explains the higher percentage of rejected data during the validation process. Please note that the percentage of missing measurements is nominal during this cycle. Data quality is still impacted by these events, as a large number of measurements is rejected through the validation process due to mispointing (see section ). {Users are advised to use data with off_nadir_angle $ < 0.09deg^{2} $}} |
Missing data | Cycle 130 has no missing pass but, track 340 is partially missing due to attitude deviation (19.5% of missing data but only 11.4% are over ocean). |
