Sentinel-6A MF Jason-CS L1B P4 Altimeter Low Resolution (LR) NTC Geolocated Waveforms G01

Published by NASA/JPL/PODAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: September 08, 2026 at 11:25 PM | Dataset Last Updated: September 08, 2026
Provides reprocessed L1B low resolution (LR) non-time critical (NTC; 60-day latency) altimetry data from the Poseidon-4 SAR altimeter on the Sentinel-6A Michael Freilich spacecraft which include the geolocated, fully-calibrated pulse-limited LR power echoes. The S6A NTC product is analogous to the Jason-3 GDR product.
