Sentinel-6A MF Jason-CS L2 Advanced Microwave Radiometer (AMR-C) STC Geophysical Parameters
(JASON_CS_S6A_L2_AMR_RAD_STC)| Version | F |
| Processing Level | 2 |
| Start/Stop Date | 2020-Dec-06 to Present |
| Short Name | JASON_CS_S6A_L2_AMR_RAD_STC |
| Description | Provides L2 short time critical (STC; 36-hour latency) geophysical information from the Advanced Microwave Radiometer on the Sentinel-6A Michael Freilich spacecraft including surface type, wind speed, water vapor, brightness temperature, sigma0, wet troposphere, and associated quality flags. The data are interpolated to intervals that correspond to altimetry measurements from the Poseidon-4 SAR to supply the geophysical and environmental corrections for altimetry. The S6A STC product is analogous to the Jason-3 IGDR product. |
