This dataset contains level-2 Interferometric Wide swath (IW) Ocean (OCN) C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from the European Space Agency (ESA) Sentinel 1B satellite. Level-2 data consists of geolocated geophysical products derived from Level-1. Sentinel 1B was launched on 25th April 2016 and provides continuous all-weather, day and night imaging radar data. The IW mode is the main operational mode. These level 2 OCN products provide Ocean Wind field (OWI) and Surface Radial Velocity (RVL). The OWI component is a ground range gridded estimate of the surface wind speed and direction at 10 m above the surface, derived from IW mode. The OWI component contains a set of wind vectors for each processed Level-1 input product. The norm is the wind speed in m/s and the argument is wind direction in degrees (meteorological convention = clockwise direction from where the wind blows with respect to the North). The spatial resolution of the SAR wind speed is 1km for IW mode. The RVL surface radial velocity component is a ground range gridded difference between the measured Level-2 Doppler grid and the Level-1 calculated geometrical Doppler. The RVL component provides continuity of the ASAR Doppler grid. The RVL estimates are produced on a ground-range grid. These data are available via CEDA to any registered CEDA user.

This dataset contains level-2 Interferometric Wide swath (IW) Ocean (OCN) C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from the European Space Agency (ESA) Sentinel 1A satellite. Level-2 data consists of geolocated geophysical products derived from Level-1. Sentinel 1A was launched on 3rd April 2014 and provides continuous all-weather, day and night imaging radar data.

This dataset contains level 0, raw Interferometric Wide swath (IW) Single Look Complex (SLC) C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from the European Space Agency (ESA) Sentinel 1A satellite. Sentinel 1A was launched on 3rd April 2014 and provides continuous all-weather, day and night imaging radar data. The IW mode is the main operational mode. The IW mode supports single (HH or VV) and dual (HH+HV or VV+VH) polarisation. These data were archived as a test - CEDA does not regularly archive these products. These data are available via CEDA to any registered CEDA user.
