[Jason-1] Large off nadir angles on Jason-1 degrade the NRT product quality and coverage
Category: Operational news
Following the flip performed yesterday on Jason-1, the situation is again degraded with a very low STR1 performance (below 5% of tracking, being related with a bad beta angle configuration). This generates large off nadir on NRT products and even some altimeter lost of tracking and so associated impacts on off-line products.
A continuous monitoring of the performances is made, and we will report as soon as the situation changes.
