NODC Jason-2 Archive
Latest UpdatesIntroductionThis site contains an overview of the NOAA services being provided by the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) for the Jason-2 satellite altimetry mission (note: Jason-2 is also known as the Ocean Surface Topography Mission or OSTM) and for Jason-3, which is scheduled for launch in April, 2014. BackgroundThe Jason-2 satellite launched 20 June 2008 and is the latest in a series of ocean altimeter missions designed to observe ocean circulation, sea level rise, and wave heights. Earlier altimeter missions include Geosat and Geosat Follow-On satellites, which flew in 1985-1989 and 1998-2008, respectively, and the TOPEX/Poseidon (1992-2005) and Jason-1 (2001-present) missions, which were launched into the same orbit now occupied by Jason-2. Jason-2 is currently flying in what is known as the "reference" orbit. Jason-1 continues to operate today in a similar "interleaved" orbit, offset by approximately 5 days and 0.7 degrees longitude at the equator from Jason-2.Level-2 X-GDR Data Access
Quality Monitoring of the Science DataFor deriving long-term quality measurements on Jason satellite data, we have developed a climate-oriented quality monitoring system. This system uses the Rich Inventory concept developed at NGDC, providing a searchable database for tracking and discovering data quality, metadata, and data set attributes. A near real time data quality check comprising of 8 statistics calculated on 23 parameters is performed as each Level-2 data file is ingested into NODC's archives.
