Slide: 2

ROSA GRAS MeetingFebruary 2009Matera, Italy

Overview

Monitoring:– performed during operational processing (basic, e.g. #

of processed data segments, processor exit status, etc)– performed in parallel to dissemination (comparing orbit

and bending angles)

Validation:– performed offline against other RO missions, ECMWF

Validation: COSMIC

Number of co-locations (<300km, <3hours), Note: GRAS reductions on 22.12. and 18.01 are only in this data set

ROSA GRAS MeetingFebruary 2009Matera, Italy

Validation: Orbit Stability Issues

Upper level biases at 60 km (top) and 40 km (bottom) time series against ECMWF for operational POD process with GSN orbits and clocks (operational data). Note: is within GRAS requirements.

ROSA GRAS MeetingFebruary 2009Matera, Italy

Validation: Orbit Convergence Issue

Upper level biases at 40 km time series against ECMWF for operational POD process with GSN orbits and clocks (GPS week 1501 test period). Grey shaded areas indicated degraded data (about 6 % for this period)
