Fee Determination Assessments • Fee determination • Crossover residual RMS • RA noise estimate • Data coverage estimate • Data analysis and quality assurance • Timing and sizing anomalies • Crossover residual analysis • Orbit quick-look assessment • RA noise trend analysis (v. SWH)
Fee DeterminationCrossover Residual RMS • Methodology fixed by contract • NOAA crossover location template • Data editing criteria • Latitude outside ±55º • UT 1/12º land mask • Timing anomalies • WFF Quality Word criteria • SSHustd ≥ 15 cm
Fee DeterminationRA Noise Estimate • Methodology fixed by contract (R. Sailor spectral analysis technique) • Data editing criteria - same as crossover residual RMS plus • AGC blooms (o ≥ 16 db) • Non-colinear passes • Colinear passes… • w/o sufficient geoid signal • w/o duration ≥ 2 min (no interpolation) • w/ average SWH ≤ 2.0 m (both passes)
Fee DeterminationRA Noise Estimate (cont.) Cycles 00/01
Fee DeterminationData Coverage Estimate • Methodology: comparison with NOAA crossover locations • Missing crossovers broken down by • Missing data (gap in NGDR) • RA not in fine track • Other WFF Quality Word editing criteria
Data Analysis and QATiming and Sizing Anomalies • Timing anomalies - 2 types discovered • ∆t ≠ 0.98 sec. • Self-correcting • Not yet fixed • Occurs over water as well as land • Numerous occurrences in Cycle 03 • After Cycle 03, occurs 1 to 3 times per Cycle • Negative ∆t • Fixed by Ball after Cycle 05 • Size anomalies - compare gfoM & gfoo
Data Analysis and QAOrbit Quick-Look Assessment • Crossover residual daily histogram • 3-Day crossover residual analysis • SSHc - MSS
