First "cycle" for Jason-2

Category: News of the Jason-2 mission

Placed on its working orbit on July, 4th, Jason-2 has completed on July, 14th its first full 10 days (repeat cycle). Results continues to show very good agreement with Jason-1.

Sea Level Anomalies from Jason-2

Less than one month after launch, Jason-2 is giving its first complete maps, computed from a full 10 days on its operational orbit (data from 2008-07-04 12:30 (Cycle 0, pass 62) to 2008-07-14 10:29 (Cycle 1, pass 61),  since cycle 0 did not begin at pass 1, so that Jason-2 pass numbers are phased with Jason-1's).

Comparisons with Jason-1, 55 seconds ahead on the same orbit, show a very good agreement for all measured parameters.
