h2 = 0.9 m
p2 = 41 deg.
The twice-per-rev signal that remains is equivalent to a 42 msec timing bias.
Since the onboard GPS system isn't fully operational, there is no precise
time stamping on the altimetry data and a timing bias of 40+ msec is
actually quite good. There is still a constant offset of ~22 meters
(equivalent to an ~130 ns waveform indexing error). Most of the remaining
orbit error is due to the slowly varying once-per-rev signal, on the order
of five meters.
