OSTM/Jason-2 Near Real-Time Altimetry Validation System (NRTAVS) QA Reports, 2008 to 2019

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: February 28, 2026 | Last Modified: 2022-01-08T00:00:00.000+00:00
This collection contains the Ocean Surface Topography Mission (OSTM)/Jason-2 Near Real-Time Altimetry Validation System Quality Reports. These files provide the quality reports from the Near Real-Time Altimetry Validation System. Reports are daily and cover the previous 10-day period. All Quality Assurance data were made available on 15 December, 2008. Other data/products associated with OSTM/Jason-2 are also available, including Level-2 Geophysical Data Records (GDRs), ancillary and auxiliary data files used to generate Level-2 products, orbit information of OSTM/Jason-2 satellite and telemetry data.
