TOPEX ALTIMETER SENSOR DATA RECORD
(TOPEX_ALTSDR)This dataset will be available through Earthdata Cloud only, starting September, 2022. Learn More
| DOI | 10.5067/TPSDR-BIN0A |
| Short Name | TOPEX_ALTSDR |
| Description | The Sensory Data Record (SDR) is similar to the GDR product except that it also contains waveforms, which are required for retracking. This is an expert level product. If you do not need the waveforms then the GDR should suit your needs. |
