The Notice describes the OLCI ...

In the frame of pre-launch and commissioning activities for Sentinel-3's OLCI-A instrument, Spectral Response Functions (SRF) based on on-ground and inflight characterisation measurements were deri ...

In the frame of pre-launch activities for the Sentinel-3 OLCI-B instrument, a first version of the instrument Spectral Response Functions (SRF) based on on-ground characterisation measurements wa ...

This Technical Note is aimed at describing the Sentinel-3 Optical Test Data Sets (TDS) provided to the user community and the limitations of the TDS'. No detail on the tools used for the generati ...

This Technical Note provides the File Naming Convention adopted by the Sentinel-3 PDGS for the following data classes:

• Instrument data products, including
  • Leve ...

This Algorithm Theoretical Basis document (ATBD) describes the algorithms used to produce the OLCI Level 1b Radiometric Product from Raw Data and accompanying geo-referencing and external data anno ...

This ATBD discusses the potential approaches to correct sun glint for OLCI. The amount of sun glint will be reduced as compared to MERIS; the field-of-view (FOV) is tilted to reduce the sun-glint p ...

The purpose of this algorithm is to determine the correction for NIR reflectance needed for the full atmosphere correction model - applied to visible wavelengths.

This ATBD describes the impact of the relevant absorption features due to atmospheric gases within the spectral domain of OLCI. Procedures will be discussed to correct the influence of atmospheric ...

The purpose of this document is to lay out algorithms for the OLCI ocean colour products in Case 1 waters.

This ATBD describes the algorithm for the determination of inherent optical properties (IOPs) and the concentration of water constituents in case 2 waters from water leaving radiance reflectance sp ...

This ATBD describes the retrieval of water vapour from OLCI measurements above land, ocean and clouds.

This Algorithmic Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD) describes the algorithm used to estimate chlorophyll content over land from Level-1 OLCI products from the Sentinel-3 mission. The algorithm calle ...

The confidence check ATBD defines the OLCI classification flags and details of example quality flags that will provide the end users with confidence in the OLCI products.

The aim of the classification is to distinguish water and land i.e. it will be designed to separate pixels into the water and land chains as there is currently no OLCI atmospheric processing chain. ...

The purpose of this document is to lay out the OLCI atmospheric correction algorithm above Case 1 waters.

The purpose of this document is to lay out algorithms for the sea water transparency products.

Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) reaching the ocean surface is defined as the quantum energy flux from the Sun in the spectral range 400-700 nm; units are Einstein/m2/day. PAR is essential ...

The purpose of this ATBD is to define the approach to white cap correction that could be applied to OLCI.

This document aims at providing a comprehensive description of the OLCI instrument's spectral characteristics and their potential impact on algorithms likely to expect data acquired at a constant w ...

This ATBD describes a procedure to derive the bi-directional water leaving radiance reflectances (RL_w) from top of atmosphere (TOA) radiance reflectance spectra RL_toa (L1b data) of the Ocean Land ...
