Saral validation report, cycle 168
Cycle date | 2023-01-09 - 2023-02-13 |
---|---|
Cycle quality | During this cycle, mispointing levels are higher than during previous cycle. These levels of mispointing are due to attitude deviations and impact data quality. Data directly after SHM are deeply impacted by mispointing. 8% of the ocean data is rejected during the validation process mainly due to out of treshold off nadir values, leading to an overall percentage of 23.80% of rejected data once all criteria applied (see section ). |
Missing data | Cycle 168 has missing passes: |
5.28 cm | |
9.36 cm |
(*)When using a selection to remove shallow waters (1000 m), areas of high ocean variability and high latitudes (> |50| deg)
(**) relative to a 7-year mean (cycles <= 33) or 20-year mean (cycles >=34)
