Gap analyses by variable or by type of mission or by WIGOS subcomponent
Variable sorting criteria
Each instrument is assigned with a 5-step rating, evaluated as a blend of several elements. For this particular Variable, the rating is driven by:
the observing technique (lidar altimeter, radar altimeter or SAR);
the large-swath capability;
the exploited frequency.
RATING CRITERIA:
1
Multi-beam lidar altimeter
Nadir-only lidar altimeter
2
Radar altimeter with along-track SAR capability
3
Large-swath radar altimeter
4
X- and possibly Ku-band SAR
C-band SAR
