Short Name	JASON_CS_S6A_L1B_ALT_LR_STC_F
Description	Provides L1B low resolution (LR) short time critical (STC; 36-hour latency) altimetry data from the Poseidon-4 SAR altimeter on the Sentinel-6A Michael Freilich spacecraft which include the geolocated, fully-calibrated pulse-limited LR power echoes. The S6A STC product is analogous to the Jason-3 IGDR product.

Bucket/Object Prefix: Protected buckets contain the data files for a given collection. Protected simply means users must log in to Earthdata Login before gaining access to contents within that S3 Bucket. Please use the S3Credential endpoint to gain an Earthdata login token for use in S3 Access. Public buckets, in contrast, house metadata such as checksums, imagery, and metadata files and the like. A user can access public buckets and these types of files without logging in to Earthdata Login. Most of the time, you'll want to access the protected bucket Information
