Poseidon-4 Altimetry Level 2 High Resolution in NTC - Sentinel-6

Abstract:
The product contain the typical altimetry measurements, like the altimeter range, the sea surface height, the wind speed, significant wave height and all required geophysical corrections and related flags derived either from RAW or RMC, or the combination of both. Two measurement data files are available (standard and reduced), each with a different number of variables. The standard data file includes 1 Hz and 20 Hz measurements for the Ku- band as well as geophysical corrections at 1 Hz and some at 20 Hz. The reduced data file contains only 1 Hz measurements for the Ku- and C-bands as well as geophysical corrections at 1 Hz. Note that the HR data products only contain Ku-band measurements Processed in NTC (< 60 days).
