Category: News of the Jason-2 mission

Jason-2 data have been (temporarily) integrated in Ssalto/Duacs NRT processing, instead of Jason-1 (unavailable due to a single event upset and subsequent safehold mode)

Even though Jason-2 is still in calibration phase, the lack of Jason-1 data and the quality of its follow-on decided Ssalto/Duacs processing team to switch temporarily to Jason-2, up till the time when Jason-1 data gaps do not impact data quality anymore (Jason-1 is now in working order, but Ssalto/Duacs data are built using several days of data). Maps built with Jason-2, published beginning Monday 25, show promises.
