Description

Provides low resolution (LR) non-time critical (NTC; 60-day latency) measurements of sea surface height anomaly (SSHA), Significant Wave Height (SWH), and Wind Speed, along with 1 Hz and 20 Hz measurements from the radar altimeter, orbit altitude, environmental range corrections, instrument corrections, and geophysical models. The NTC product is analogous to the Jason-3 GDR product.
