Question about Sentinel 3A data access

by kristinaharuka » Fri Aug 06, 2021 1:39 pm America/New_York

Hi, I was looking through the Sentinel 3A files found here - https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov (/S3AOLCI/) and 3B at https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov (/S3BOLCI/)

Does NASA do any additional processing to these files, or are they the same files we find at the Scihub Copernicus system? Can we expect to see access to the L2 files at some point?

Thanks so much for any information.

These Sentinel 3A (and 3B) L1B files are the same data as distributed by ESA and Eumetsat.
Yes, we are planning to process these data to Level 2 and Level 3 using the NASA standard algorithms.
We are finalizing the code and vicarious calibration now and expect to initiate the L2/3 processing within a month.

Regards,
Sean
