Jason-1/Jason-2 Metocean Comparisons and Monitoring

Abstract: The initial tandem phase of the Jason-2 mission is important for the calibration of the entire altimetric system, not just the records of sea surface height. However, as well as allowing a bulk comparison of metocean parameters such as wave height and backscatter strength (used to infer wind speed), it affords a more detailed opportunity to understand the artefacts within each instrument. The wave height comparison shows no bias between the instruments, with the mismatch error of consecutive points independent… Show more

“…Queffeulou, 2003;Abdalla et al, 2010;Ray and Beckley, 2012). However, they are similar to those found for inter-altimeter comparisons of Jason-1 with ERS-2 (Zieger et al, 2009) and a little larger than the Jason-2 matchups with Jason-1 during the tandem phase (Quartly, 2010a), when the time difference was negligible.…”

“…For example, the tandem mission of Jason-1 and Jason-2 showed r.m.s. differences of 0.17 m, for H s (Quartly, 2010a), which were taken with negligible time difference, and these reduced considerably when along-track averaging was applied as well. Using along-track averages, Zieger et al (2009) noted the discrepancies between ERS-2 and Jason-1 were 0.09 m for H s and 0.46 m s -1 for u 10 .…”

“…Validation of the wave-height data from Jason-2 has already been reported, at least in preliminary fashion, in several studies (e.g., Ablain et al 2010;Abdalla et al, 2010;Quartly, 2010). Further and continuing analyses are warranted for a number of reasons.…”
