Saral validation report, cycle 132
Cycle date | 2019-07-29 - 2019-09-02 |
---|---|
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 ). |
Missing data | Cycle 132 has no missing pass but, track 170 is partially missing due to the calibration that occurred on 04/08/2019 between 15:12:00 to 15:24:45 (36.6% of missing data but only 15.3% are over ocean). |
