Abstract

A sensitivity analysis is performed on the level-2 algorithms for the Jason-2/Ocean Surface Topography Mission (OSTM). This analysis quantifies how inaccuracies in the fundamental measurements impact the overall sea-surface-height measurements. The analysis is applied to examine the various biases between OSTM and Jason-1 during their formation-flying phase. We further investigate data from the formation-flying phase by analyzing a statistical artifact that manifests itself as an apparent scale error in differences of the 1-Hz ionospheric corrections from the two missions.
