NCEI-generated data quality assurance descriptive statistics, images, and gridded Level-3 sea surface height anomaly and other parameters from the Jason-3 Level-2 final Geophysical Data Record (GDR) and interim GDR (IGDR) products from 2016-02-12 to 2021-01-12 (NCEI Accession 0225454)

The data quality monitoring system (DQMS) developed by the Satellite Oceanography Program at the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) is based on the concept of a Rich Inventory developed by the previous NCEI Enterprise Data Systems Group. The principal concept of a Rich Inventory is to calculate the data Quality Assurance (QA) descriptive statistics for selected parameters in each Level-2 data file and publish the pre-generated images and NetCDF-format data to the public. The QA descriptive statistics include valid observation number, observation number over 3-sigma edited, minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation. The parameters include sea surface height anomaly, significant wave height, altimeter, and radiometer wind speed, radiometer water vapor content, and radiometer wet tropospheric correction from Jason-3 Level-2 Final Geophysical Data Record (GDR) and Interim Geophysical Data Record (IGDR) products.
