Jason-3 (Extended Mission)
SGDR-F
1Hz
Tracker Range
Named tracker_20hz_ku in GDR-D standard. Ku band operating tracker (’Diode+DEM’ or ’Median’ or ’Split-Gate’ tracker). This includes the Distance antenna-COG (/data_01/range_cor_cog), USO drift correction (/data_01/range_cor_uso) and internal path correction (/data_01/ku/range_cor_internal_path). But not the Doppler correction (/data_01/ku/range_cor_doppler), modeled instrumental errors correction (/data_01/ku/range_cor_ocean_model_instr) and system bias

Sentinel-6A (HR)
NTC/F08
20Hz
Tracker Range
This is the 1-way distance from the satellite`s center of mass to the middle of the range window (sample ns/2 from 0). It includes the following range calibrations: (a) range_corr_internal_delay_cal, (b) range_corr_internal_delay_diff, (c) range_corr_external_group_delay, (d) range_corr_com. Note: the actual altimeter clock (variable `altimeter_clock_ku`) has been used to compute the altimeter range
