Saral validation report, cycle 169
Cycle date | 2023-02-13 - 2023-03-20 |
---|---|
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. 4% 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 19.52% of rejected data once all criteria applied (see section ). |
Missing data | Cycle 169 has missing passes: |
5.20 cm | |
9.53 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)
