Data DescriptionOSTM/Jason-2: Telemetry - This collection of data contains OSTM/Jason-2 telemetry data. These data are archived at the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) as accession 0044986 (http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/search/prod/accessionsView.pl/details/44986). The data are distributed through the NOAA/NESDIS Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System (CLASS, http://www.class.noaa.gov). Dataset consists of raw Level-0 telemetry data from the Jason-2 spacecraft. There are three datatypes available: Housekeeping Telemetry - Recorded (HKTM-R) is stored on the spacecraft for later downlink, Payload Telemetry 1 (PLTM-1) is the payload science data from the core-mission payloads: Poseidon-3, DORIS, AMR, and GPSP and Payload Telemetry 2 (PLTM-2) is the payload science data from the passenger mission of opportunity payloads: CARMEN-2, L2T2 and LPT. They are available as CCSDS packet files. OSTM/JASON-2 is a follow-on mission continuing the TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason-1, and is designed to ensure continuity of high quality measurements for ocean science and to provide operational products for assimilation and forecasting applications. The Jason-2 satellite was launched on 20 June 2008 and reached its nominal repetitive orbit on 4 July 2008.
