GFO RADAR ALTIMETER PERFORMANCE July 2000 George S. Hayne/David W. Hancock III NASA GSFC/Wallops Flight Facility, Code 972 Contributors:Dennis W. Lockwood, Raytheon ITSS Ronald L. Brooks, Raytheon ITSS Ngan Tran, Raytheon ITSS Anita Brenner, Raytheon ITSS Richard Sailor, TASC

NASA/GSFC Wallops Flight Facility - GSH Wallops GFO Altimeter Role NASA representative for Radar Altimeter Performance Member of GFO Cal-Val Team Data distribution to members of CAL-VAL Team Validate Radar Altimeter instrument related corrections Provide correction for instrument changes to NAVY by monitoring internal calibration mode and altimeter performance.

NASA/GSFC Wallops Flight Facility - GSH Wallops Involvement (To Date) with GFO Processing Pre-Launch Testing Cal-Val Provided Improved Temperature Correction for AGC Analysis of Effects from Loss of OnBoard Software Patch Analysis of Record-to-Record Timing Problems Analysis of Processing for Apparent Range Drift Detected Tropospheric Correction Problem at Greenwich Longitude Crossings Noted Bad Data Apparently Resulting from Telemetry Download Problems

NASA/GSFC Wallops Flight Facility - GSH NAVY - Wallops Data Flow Daily RA Data (without waveforms) RA Cal Data (with waveforms) ENG Data (engineering) WVR Data (water vapor) Sensor Data Records (SDR) As Soon As Available Navy Geophysical Data Records (NGDR) OODD (orbit) Wallops - Cal/Val Team Data Flow SDR RA Cal Data OODD

NASA/GSFC Wallops Flight Facility - GSH Wallops-Recommended Editing Criteria Quality Word #1 Record is zero filled (bit 2) RA not in fine track (bit 3) No smoothed VATT(bit 7) SWH bounds error (bit 10) Off Nadir error (bit 18) SWH STD error (bit 19) RA data frame missing (bits 22-31) (greater than 5 missing) Note: Also be sensitive to the bad value fill data.

NASA/GSFC Wallops Flight Facility - GSH GFO Range Measurement Noise Compared with Other Satellite Altimeters *Place holder for R. Sailor results*

NASA/GSFC Wallops Flight Facility - GSH Comparison of GFO-Derived Windspeed with QUIKSCAT (GFO 17-DAY CYCLES)

NASA/GSFC Wallops Flight Facility - GSH Comparison of GFO-Derived Windspeed with QUIKSCAT (GFO 17-DAY CYCLES) (continued)

NASA/GSFC Wallops Flight Facility - GSH Greenland Ice Sheet Coverage Description (Acquisitions and Typical Duration of Tracking Periods) *Place holder for A. Brenner’s results*

NASA/GSFC Wallops Flight Facility - GSH GFO Altimeter Data Errors 2000 Day 147 bad down link caused segments of ocean data to appear bad 200 Day 150 bad Sea Surface Height from apparently misaligned data Implies need to improve automated quality assurance on nGDR. Wallops can help develop recommendations.

NASA/GSFC Wallops Flight Facility - GSH Open Issues Time Tag assigned in presence of bad data- (Ball has fix) Tropospheric correction problem at 0 deg Longitude SDR/nGDR data misalignment nGDR quality assurance Possible Sigma Naught/AGC calibration correction needed Windspeed bias ( Possible offset or model) SWH Bias ( Possible)

NASA/GSFC Wallops Flight Facility - GSH Conclusion The GFO Radar Altimeter (Configuration 1) is performing well, instrument specifications have been met Recommend workshop to resolve open issues (Wallops and others) Recommend the GFO data flow be open to the Altimeter user community after open issues closed
