2nd cycle for Jason-2

Category: News of the Jason-2 mission

Jason-2 completed its cycle #2 on 31 July 2008. Results remain very close to Jason-1. Cycle #3 should see the first tests of the coupling of the satellite tracking with a Digital Elevation model.

Significant wave heights from Jason-2 cycle 2

Jason-2 cycle 2 (2008-07-21 23:18:36 to 2008-07-31 21:17:06) maps, besides showing the same things than Jason-1 cycle 241's maps, give some hints of monsoon-related features in the Indian Ocean.
