Saral validation report, cycle 137
Cycle date | 2020-01-20 - 2020-02-24 |
---|---|
Cycle quality | During this cycle, mispointing levels are particularly high until pass 366 but are much lower after. These levels of mispointing are due to attitude deviation, and explains the higher percentage of rejected data during the validation process. Data quality is severly impacted by these events, so that around 22,11 % of the data is rejected during the validation process mainly due to mispointing (see section ). |
Missing data | Track 284 is partially missing due to the calibration that occurred on 30/01/2019 between 15:30:00 to 15:47:45 (35.26% of missing data on this track but only 5.40% are over ocean). Some passes have a large number of missing measurements. |
