Sentinel-1A observation segment

Title: Copernicus Sentinel-1A observation segment

Description: This image shows the Copernicus Sentinel-1A observation segment acquired on 19 March 2021 around 19:00 UTC, part of the Sentinel-1 baseline observation plan. The 250 km swath of the Copernicus Sentinel-1 Interferometric Wide Swath mode allowed to cover in one pass several areas subject to important floods.

Related products, made available within few hours from sensing, were exploited by the Copernicus Emergency Management Service to derive flood delineation maps.
