Validation reports by cycle for ERS RA altimeter, long-term monitoring of ERS altimeter 5RA) and radiometer (MWR). These reports are provided by CLS after analysis of CERSAT OPR data. This quality control of ERS altimeter data points out possible degradation, instrumental errors, correction recommandations, etc...
