---|---|
Cycle quality | Data quality for this cycle is nominal. |
Missing data | This cycle has no missing pass, but: - Pass 954 is partially missing due to station keeping maneuver (18% of ocean data missing), - Pass 238 is partially missing due to the aborted maneuver (on land only), - Passes 950 and 951 are partially missing (on land only, over Antarctica) likely due to the reaction wheel issue before the station keeping maneuver, - Due to the ground track shift, a few measurements are missing due to shifting of routine calibrations over Australia. |
