Experimental Product: Sentinel-6 Level-2P Skewness

The Sentinel-6 Level-2P skewness products was developed to estimate the skewness from Sentinel-6 LR (Low Resolution Mode) and HR (High Resolution Mode) acquisitions. That demonstration product is generated by different retracking processes, provides an initial estimation of such a phenomenon and allows a finer description of the sea state.
