Quality Every sea surface height is supplemented by its
individual estimated standard deviation.
Quality records containing the number of
crossovers taken for the orbit error analysis, the
a-priori rms of the crossover discrepancies,
the rms estimate of the a-posteriori
crossover discrepancies, the mean values and rms of
differences to external sea surface models,
the number of records taken/rejected are
included in the product. Regarding all these quality
parameters together, an overall quality
parameter between 0 (best) and 9 (worst)
is defined and included into the
global products table.
