| Product: | Vertical Total Electron Content (VTEC) |
| Version: | 06 |
| Mission: | Jason-3 |
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| jday.00 | Julian Day
Julian Day Epoch 2000.0 (2000-01-01 12:00:00 UTC) Julian Day 2000 values are truncated in MVA after 5-digits! |
| glon.00 | Longitude
Named lon in GDR-D standard. East longitude relative to Greenwich meridian. See Jason-3 User Handbook. Associated quality flag is orb_state_diode_flag for the OGDR products, orb_state_rest_flag for the IGDR and GDR products Source: SGDR-F Original-Parameter: data_01/longitude |
| glat.00 | Latitude
Named lat in GDR-D standard. Positive latitude is North latitude, negative latitude is South latitude. See Jason-3 User Handbook. Associated quality flag is orb_state_diode_flag for the OGDR products, orb_state_rest_flag for the IGDR and GDR products Source: SGDR-F Original-Parameter: data_01/latitude |
| gmlat.00 | Geomagnetic Latitude
(geomag pole at 79.5,-71.6; epoch 2000) |
| tloc.00 | Local Time
(h = glon/15 + UT - 12; UT = 24*mod(jday-0.5,1) ) |
| ionos.06 | Ionospheric Correction
Smoothed ionospheric correction based on ionos.00 |
