Copernicus Sentinel-3 Imagery and Ocean Colour Products

Copernicus Sentinel-3 provides satellite observations of ocean and land colour, sea and land surface temperature, and sea surface topography. This record focuses on imagery and ocean-colour products available through the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem. Spatial resolution varies by instrument and product; OLCI ocean-colour products are available at approximately 300 m (full resolution) and 1,200 m (reduced resolution).
