CorSSH - Corrected Sea Surface Heights
Types of dataset: Monomission altimeter product.
Contents: along-track corrected sea surface heights wrt reference ellipsoid.
Use: stationary or long-term geophysical and ocean phenomenon studies.
Description: Mono altimeter satellite product, with corrections and geophysical parameters. Significant wave heights and backscatter coefficient are also provided. Note that monomission products by definition are not intercalibrated at crossover points. Thus Jason-1 and Envisat data for example may not be homogeneous at a given point, since their orbits are different.
Check monomossion processing last updates.
Geographic coverage: Global
Format: NetCDF

* The Jason-1 CorSSH are currently reprocessed from the new version of Jason-1 GDR-c. Users are advised that the new (incomplete) version can be downloaded from this ftp link (from cycle 233 and beyond). All cycles will be available by the end of 2009.
**The old version (cycles 1 to 232) , generated from the Jason-1 GDR-b can be downloaded from this second ftp link.
