Jason-1 validation report, cycle 262
Cycle date | 2009-02-09 - 2009-02-19 |
---|---|
Cycle quality | Data quality for this cycle is nominal. Note that from 10th to 14th of February 2009, Jason-1 was on a drifting orbit. |
Missing data | Passes 001 to 012, as well as most of pass 013 are missing due to the change of orbit. Passes 106 and 107 are partially missing due to long calibrations (on 2009-02-14 between 08:29:12 and 09:48:16). There are several small data gaps: on pass 108 (due to altimeter restart on 2009-02-14 from 10:13:32 to 10:16:40), on pass 208 (on 2009-02-18 between 08:33:06 and 08:35:06), and on pass 223 (due to calibration over ocean on 2009-02-18 between 22:17:10 and 22:19:22). |
