Saral validation report, cycle 176
Cycle date | 2023-10-16 - 2023-11-20 |
---|---|
Cycle quality | During this cycle mispointing levels are higher than the previous cycle and impact consequently data quality. 9.16% of ocean data is rejected during the validation process because of out of threshold off nadir values (see attached figure), leading to an overall percentage of 28.21% of rejected data once all criteria applied. |
Missing data | Cycle 176 pass 136 has 9.7% of missing measurement over ocean due to the altimeter gain calibration on 2023-10-21. |
