This report contains a summary of information on the Cryo-TEMPO (Baseline-B v001) Polar Oceans products for Dec 2023. For detailed information and statistics on all parameters, please use the product viewer.
This section shows the availability of Cryo-TEMPO Polar Oceans products during Dec 2023.
As each orbit may be split in to several Cryo-TEMPO files, the number of files and orbits may be different.
| Product Area | Number of Orbits | Number of Files |
|---|---|---|
| Arctic | 449 | 1361 |
The primary parameter measured for polar oceans is dynamic ocean topography. This section shows dynamic ocean topography statistics for Dec 2023.
| Area | Number of Measurements | Mean (m) | Median | Min:Max | Stdev |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arctic | 6559708 | -0.09 | -0.10 | -26.19:32.74 | 0.21 |
Maps of dynamic ocean topography measurements over the Arctic for Dec 2023 are displayed below.
The estimated uncertainty of each dynamic ocean topography measurement is provided in the dynamic_ocean_topography_uncertainty parameter.
The accuracy of CryoSat Cryo-TEMPO dynamic ocean topography measurements are calculated by comparison with external ground truth data collected during validation campaigns. This section will be completed after the validation is completed for this Cryo-TEMPO product baseline.
