Sentinel-3 Altimetry Thematic Data Product for cryosphere & benefits of the Sentinel-3 Validation Team

2022
With the launch of Sentinel-3A (2016) and Sentinel-3B (2018), the Copernicus programme has a constellation of two SAR altimeters, which provides an operational access to inland Water Surface Height (WSH) data (i.e., lakes and rivers), with outstanding product performance and data coverage.

How Sentinel-3 tandem phase contributes to Sentinel-3 error budget

2018
The ESA (European Space Agency) mission Sentinel-3A was successfully launched in February 2016 and recently followed by its twin Sentinel-S3B launched on 25 April 2018. Sentinel-3 satellites are a multi-instrument mission to measure sea-surface topography, sea- and land-surface temperature, ocean colour and land colour with high-end accuracy and ...

Sentinel-3 Marine Altimetry Mission

2022
Sentinel-3 is part of a series of Sentinel satellites responsible for taking care of a continuous ‘health check’ of the Earth planet under the umbrella of the Copernicus program. The Copernicus program will launch four Sentinel-3 satellites (from A to D) to achieve this goal from 2016 to 2030s.

Sentinel-3 status and performance over ocean

2022
The Copernicus Sentinel-3A mission was successfully launched in February 2016. It is a multi-instrument mission to measure surface topography, sea- and land-surface temperature, ocean colour and land colour with high-end accuracy and reliability. To reach the data coverage required by the Copernicus service, its twin Sentinel-3B was launched on 25th of

Sentinel-3 Transponder Calibration Results

2017
Sentinel-3 is the Earth observation satellite mission designed to ensure the long-term collection and operational delivery of high-quality measurements of, among others, the sea surface topography. Post-launch calibration and validation of the satellite measurements is a prerequisite to achieve the desired level of accuracy and ensure the return of the

Estimating Biomass From Sentinel-3 Altimetry Data: A Sensitivity Analysis

2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium IGARSS, 2021
ALtimetry for BIOMass (ALBIOM) is a research project funded by the European Space Agency to study the possibility of estimating above ground biomass by means of low- and high-resolution Sentinel-3 altimetry data. We present preliminary results of a sensitivity analysis, developed to assess in what extent waveforms and altimetry observables are affected
