Due to an OLCI S09 calibration activity performed on 14 February 2018, the instrument user data could be degraded or missing from sensing time 09:49:38 to 09:54:38 UTC on 14 February (absolute orbit 10390, relative orbit 22 of cycle 28).
The S-3A Altimetry Processing Baseline (PB) 2.27 was deployed on 14 February 2018 at the ESA Sentinel-3 Land centres.
Additional information on the PB 2.27 content is available from the S-3A STM product notice:
Due to a Sentinel-3A ground segment anomaly on 07 February 2018, NRT/NTC/STC user data could be degraded or missing.
A Sentinel-3A ground segment anomaly on 10 February 2018 has now been solved.
The Sentinel-3B satellite scheduled for launch this spring, will be flying 30 seconds apart from its twin, Sentinel-3A, during the commissioning phase. This temporary tandem arrangement is to obtain better cross-calibration between instruments, thus reducing uncertainties in the multi-satellite time series and ensuring an overall high data quality.
Calling on all interested users of Sentinel data, who would like to submit their results, turning their experiences into 'success stories'.
If you have a good story to tell, of how any of the Sentinel satellites are producing data that bring benefit to your work and/or to society, please contact the Sentinel Online Editors at: contentmatters4sentinelonline@ejr-quartz.com with your proposals.
