Slope correction for Sentinel-6A SAR altimetry
This product provides slope correction maps for Sentinel-6A SAR mode. These maps are derived from the approach originally developed for LRM mode by Sandwell and Smith (2014), adapted to reflect the geometry and orientation of SAR altimeter ground footprints. As the SAR altimeter has a rectangular ground footprint, the correction depends on the approach angle between the ground track direction and the orientation of the MSS gradients. Two correction maps are therefore included in this product: one for ascending tracks and one for descending tracks.
