STR Mispointing Angles Dataset

Dataset Description

This dataset contains CryoSat Star Tracker mispointing angles corrected for the aberration of light. The dataset is particularly important if you are processing the data in Swath Mode.

During calibration activities for CryoSat's interferometer, it was found that the accuracy of the mispointing angles could be improved in Baseline-C Level-1b products. This preliminary dataset incorporates those improvements, which are also planned to be included in the release of Baseline-D next year.
