[OLD TEMPLATE] Along-track wave heights and wind speed Level-2 Plus (L2P)
Significant Wave Height (SWH) monomission along-track altimeter satellite product available for Sentinel-3A, Sentinel-3B and Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich missions in Near-Real-Time. SWH values are computed from the High Resolution Mode, also known as Synthetic Aperture Radar mode (SAR) and are calibrated relative to buoys. A validity flag and the applied correction are also provided. Since April 2021, a new variable is included in the files : wind speed, computed by Gourrion (2002) algorithm using Collard (2005) table with PLRM sigma0 and SWH. Moreover, the values are cross-calibrated with Jason-3 standard F wind speed.
