Advanced Microwave Radiometer for Climate Level 2 data in NRT - Sentinel-6

Abstract:
Provides L2 near real time (NRT; 3-hour latency) geophysical information from the Advanced Microwave Radiometer on the Sentinel-6A Michael Freilich spacecraft including surface type, wind speed, water vapour, brightness temperature, sigma0, wet troposphere, and associated quality flags. The data are interpolated to intervals that correspond to altimetry measurements from the Poseidon-4 altimeter, to supply the geophysical and environmental corrections for altimetry.
