Hi Claude,
Thank you for the document describing the context, it makes it easier to understand what you are trying to achieve.
To a software engineer (remember that I am not an oceanographer, I have no expertise in altimetry), your approach seems sound, computing a mean over time should approximate the constant part of the signal, including the unaccounted geoid error hinted by the plots shown in your document.
As you mention being able to recover the SWOT data by yourself, can you be more precise on what kind of help I can provide? Computing the mean map and sending you the resulting values in CSV format like before?
PS: I redacted your email address to prevent it from being collected by spam bots (I already had it, I sent you an email last Friday to notify you about the forum reply, the mail subject was "Données de SLA SWOT Maupiti 2023-12-30", so you should have my email address as well).
