SENTINEL-3 SLSTR Applications overview

SLSTR provides data for many applications to different areas of science. There are four main areas identified, and further information can be found from following the links of the section headers.

  • Maritime monitoring, aided by the Sea Surface Temperature sensing, is probably the most emblematic application of SLSTR.
  • Land monitoring is also an important aspect of SLSTR, with land surface temperature and fire monitoring.
  • Atmospheric monitoring is an additional application of SLSTR with the provision of the Aerosol Optical Depth product.
  • Climate studies are aided by SLSTR by bringing several of the required Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) to the scientific community.
