Data at a Glance

Description

This dataset provides the bottom pressure measurements collected during the 2019-2020 SWOT prelaunch field campaign conducted around the SWOT crossover location in the California Currents, 300km west of Monterey, California, USA. The Paroscientiﬁc Digiquartz pressure sensor was used. The data are recorded on a 15-second interval.

GENERAL DOCUMENTATION

Variables

Variables are a set of physical properties whose values determine the characteristics or behavior of something. For example, temperature and pressure are variables of the atmosphere. Parameters and variables can be used interchangeably. Variable level attributes provide individual information for each variable.

The Name in this table is the variable name. Fill value indicates missing or undefined data points in a variable. Valid range is the range of values the variable can store. Scale factor is used to increase or decrease the size of an object and can be used to correct for distortion. For questions on a specific variable, please use the Earthdata Forum.
