Data product handbooks

Ssalto/Duacs product fact sheets

Ssalto/Duacs products are described in fact sheets available on this website. Each fact sheet includes Delayed and (Near-) Real time products.
Orbit quality depends among other things on delay between measurement and data delivery. Thus altimetry sea surface height data, that use the orbit as input, are of a better accuracy with a delay than in real or near-real time. So Near-Real Time data (NRT) are to be used preferentially for operational applications, i.e. applications that need the most recent data, whereas for studies, climatologies, etc. Delayed-Time (DT) data are the best choice.
