GPD+ Wet tropospheric correction

Types of dataset: auxiliary product.  Wet tropospheric correction for the ERS-1, ERS-2, Topex/Poseidon, Envisat, Jason-1, Jason-2, Cryosat-2 and Saral/AltiKa missions.

Contents: GPD+ (GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) derived Path Delay Plus) wet tropospheric correction for each point in the corresponding GDR.

Use: coastal applications, ocean applications 

Description: Due to its large space-time variability, the wet tropospheric correction (WTC) is still considered a significant error source in satellite altimetry. The GPD+ dataset is the result of the most recent algorithm developed at the University of Porto to retrieve improved WTC for radar altimeter missions. The GPD+ WTC are estimated by space-time objective analysis, by combining all available observations in the vicinity of the point: valid measurements from the on-board microwave radiometer (MWR), from GNSS coastal and island stations and from scanning imaging MWR on board various remote sensing missions.

Format: NetCDF

Geographic coverage: Global
