Wet Troposphere Correction U Porto Satellite Validation Data

Data to be Used: WTC from a chosen reference MWR (e.g. AMR on board Jason-2),GNSS-derived WTC not used in the computations, sea level anomaly (SLA) variance at crossovers

Coverage:  Global

Time Period: The correction  will be provided for two months: July 2012 and January 2013


Description:
Open Ocean
As the main data source here will be the SI-MWR-derived WTC, and no absolute standard is yet available for spaceborne MWR, the validation shall be performed by comparing DComb-derived WTC with WTC from a chosen reference MWR (e.g. AMR on board Jason-2).

Coastal Ocean
Comparison with GNSS-derived WTC not used in the computations.

Globally
Analysis of sea level anomaly (SLA) variance at crossovers, also as function of latitude and distance from coast.
