SWOT Level 2 Nadir Altimeter Geophysical Data Record with Waveforms - SSHA, Version 1.0
Nadir Altimeter Geophysical Data Record (GDR) products similar to those from ongoing nadir altimeter missions such as Jason-3. Provide sea surface height, significant wave height and wind speed measurements from the nadir altimeter. GDR using restituted auxiliary data Uses the Precise Orbit Ephemeris (POE). Available with latency of < 90 days. Discrete measurements at nadir for each half orbit, along the ground track. Available in netCDF-4 file format.
