Monitoring Measurement Performance of the CryoSat SIRAL Level 2 Data Products
Abstract
University College London has a long involvement in the CryoSat Mission from the proposal stage, through the development of the data processing facility and continuing today in an expert support role to ESA providing an operational monitoring and QA service for data products.We present here the results of monitoring 2 years of SIRAL Level 2 data products. We describe the monitoring processes applied, the anomalies they can detect and the performance metrics that can be observed to detect drifts. Due to delays in the ESA reprocessing campaign we are unable at this stage to show full mission performance trends from the latest processor baseline, but instead concentrate on the comparative performance and issues of note from the progressive baselines used in currently available CryoSat data products.
