Availability of geophysical
corrections
A few ocean tides measurements are missing over the Antarctic Ice Shelves.
See Table 4.4. This is assumed as nominal.
One pass is missing the ionospheric
correction over Greenland. See Section 3.1.1.2 for more information. A few ocean tides measurements are missing over the Antarctic Ice Shelves. See Table 4.4. This is assumed as nominal.
