Abstract

ab167

Source/Sensor: Jason-1/Poseidon-2 altimeter
Coverage: Near-Real-Time (3-hour latency), global oceans
Abstract: OSDR files are provided every 2 hours and within 3 hours of data collection. They contain wave height, wind speed and water vapor measurements computed using real-time on-board DORIS/DIODE orbits (better than accuracy 20 cm) and other rapidly available corrections.

Data Set Volume:

PO.DAAC anonymous ftp site: podaac.jpl.nasa.gov

Directory: pub/sea_surface_height/jason/osdr/

Smallest order: Two-hour segment file via ftp

Std. product: ftp

Formats: Binary data (unix byte-order) with ASCII header
