JASON-1 ENHANCED JASON MICROWAVE RADIOMETER

(JASON-1_JMR_ENH)
Version1
Processing Level2
Start/Stop Date2002-Jan-15 to 2012-Feb-11
Short NameJASON-1_JMR_ENH
DescriptionThe enhanced Jason-1 Microwave Radiometer (JMR) corrections contains better wet tropospheric path delay corrections along with better land, rain and ice flagging for coastal regions than that found in the Jason-1 Geophysical Data Records (GDR). The enhanced corrections can be used in place of the GDR wet troposphere correction to provide more accurate Sea Surface Height Anomalies for coastal regions.
