Arctic and Antarctic Cryosat-2 Polar datasetThe files contain the Cryosat-2 sea surface height data for the Arctic and Antarctic regions for the period 2010.5 until 2019.12.Data can be used to study ocean tides or sea level variations. The data have been formatted for the use of tidal studies and have been used to derive the DTU23 ocean tide model (also available)Processing and retracking of the Cryosat-2 data are described in the associated paper.Data are processed to remove the DTU21MSS and the FES2014 elastic ocean tide signal. The processing is done on the full 20 Hz data on a track-by-track basis to allow extraction of sea surface height in leads. Each observation in the file represents the mean(ssh) and standard deviation for a crossing of a cell of size 0.5 latitude by 3.0 latitude.The format is the following(given with a data example)196 -57.126127 14.598178 805854109.666172 -0.046690 0.106288 -114 4 5label, latitude, longitude, time sec from (01.01.1985 00:00i) average sea level, standard deviation ...
