Summary
Abstract: GPS-based Operational Geophysical Data Record (GPS-OGDR-SSHA) for OSTM/Jason-2
--------------------------------------------------_---------------------------

Date: June 5, 2009

The OSTM/Jason-2 GPS-OGDR-SSHA product is identical to the official OGDR-SSHA
product generated and distributed by NOAA and EUMETSAT, except that it contains
two additional fields in the NetCDF file:
