We are pleased to announce a new processing baseline ID for Copernicus Sentinel-3 concerning the following products:

OLCI L1 products OL_1_EFR

OLCI L1 products OL_1_ERR

The new Processing Baseline includes:

  • A new spectral temporal model has been implemented, further recommendation from the OLCI/SYN Quality Working Group, to correct the OLCI spectral response drift (of up to 3 nm) observed over time.

  • To follow the recommendation from GCOS, a new Solar Irradiance Spectrum of TSIS-1 HRSR 2021 has been implemented, instead of Thuillier 2003.

  • The change of pressure level for the relative humidity (rh@950hPa in ECMWF files) has been accounted for

  • Update of the radiometric and geometric calibration auxiliary files

 

It shall be noted that the baseline collection has been increased to 04.00.00 and that the reference version of the OLCI L1 IPF has been upgraded from 6.17.0 to 6.19.0.

The new processing baseline will be deployed on 06/05/2024 for Copernicus Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B.

This same processing baseline is also being used for the OLCI historical re-processing campaign conducted at EUMETSAT which will be released in the near future.
