Sentinel 1B C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR): SM mode SLC Level 1 data, Instrument Processing Facility (IPF) v3
This dataset contains Stripmap Mode (SM) C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Single Look Complex (SLC) data from the European Space Agency (ESA) Sentinel 1B satellite. Sentinel 1B was launched on 25th April 2016 and provides continuous all-weather, day and night imaging radar data. The SM mode is used only on special request for extraordinary events such as emergency management. The SM mode supports single (HH or VV) and dual (HH+HV or VV+VH) polarisation.
Stripmap SLCs contain one image per polarisation band from one of six overlapping beams. Each beam covers 80.1 km, covering a combined range of 375 km. Pixel spacing is determined, in azimuth by the pulse repetition frequency (PRF), and in range by the radar range sampling frequency, providing natural pixel spacing.
These data are available via CEDA to any registered user.
