Saral validation report, cycle 131
Cycle date | 2019-06-24 - 2019-07-29 |
---|---|
Cycle quality | Mispointing levels during this cycle are similar than during the previous cycles (129 and 130) and 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 131 has no missing pass |
