SLSTR/Sentinel-3A L1 Full Resolution Top of Atmosphere Radiances and Brightness Temperature
https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/concepts/C1287064221-LAADS.xmlDescription:The SLSTR/Sentinel-3A L1 Full Resolution Top of Atmosphere Radiances and Brightness Temperature product with shortname S3A_SL_1_RBT, is generated from the data aquired by the Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR), on-board SENTINEL-3, is a dual scan temperature radiometer. The principal aim of the SLSTR instrument is to maintain continuity with the AATSR series of instruments. The SLSTR instrument design incorporates the basic functionality of AATSR in addition to new, more advanced features including a wider swath, new channels (including two channels dedicated to fire detection), and higher resolution in some channels. The principal objective of SLSTR products is to provide global and regional Sea and Land Surface Temperature (SST, LST) to a very high level of accuracy (better than 0.3 K) for both climatological and meteorological applications. For more information about the instrument and the mission, visit [Sentinel Online](https://sentinel.esa.int/web/sentinel/home). The S3A_SL_1_RBT is a Level 1B product which consist of full resolution, geolocated, co-located nadir and along track view, Top of Atmosphere (TOA) brightness temperatures (in the case of thermal IR channels) or radiances (in the case of visible, NIR and SWIR channels) from all SLSTR channels. It also contains quality flags, pixel classification information and meteorological annotations. Based on components activated by configuration which are not part of the operational production baseline, the S3A_SL_1_RBT may contain 77 or 111 files. Out of the these files, 22 or 34 files contain the actual measurements, where the other 54 or 76 files contain the annotations data.

Sentinel-3A OLCI Level-2 Regional Earth-observation Full Resolution (EFR) Ocean Color (OC) Data, version 2022.0
https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/concepts/C3406446219-OB_CLOUD.xmlDescription:The Ocean Color (OC) data suite provides calibrated, atmospherically corrected ocean-optics measurements and derived biogeophysical products. This data suite includes the Apparent Optical Properties (AOP) and provides satellite-derived measures of the interaction between solar radiation and the upper ocean. AOPs are "apparent" because they depend not only on the inherent optical properties (IOPs) of seawater and its constituents but also on the ambient light field. These variables are critical for studying light penetration, primary productivity, and biogeochemical cycling. This activity was informed by the Satellite Needs Working Group (SNWG), an interagency effort of the U.S. Government dedicated to identifying and addressing Earth observation needs across U.S. civilian federal agencies. Geophysical variables in this suite include: - Kd_490 - Diffuse attenuation coefficient at 490 nm, KD2 algorithm (m⁻¹) - Rrs - Remote sensing reflectance (sr⁻¹) - angstrom - Aerosol Angstrom exponent, 443 to 865 nm - chlor_a - Chlorophyll Concentration, OCI Algorithm (mg m⁻³) - l2_flags - Level-2 Processing Flags - aot_865 - Aerosol optical thickness at 865 nm

OLCI/Sentinel-3A L1 Full Resolution Top of Atmosphere Reflectance
https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/concepts/C1286874966-LAADS.xmlDescription:The OLCI/Sentinel-3A L1 Full Resolution Top of Atmosphere Reflectance product, S3A_OL_1_EFR is generated from the data aquired by the Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) on board European Earth Observation satellite mission, SENTINEL-3. The OLCI is a push-broom imaging spectrometer that measures solar radiation reflected by the Earth at a ground spatial resolution of around 300m, over all surfaces, in 21 spectral bands. OLCI is based on the imaging design of ENVISAT's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS). It has a 1270km wide swath. For more information about the instrument and the mission, visit [Sentinel Online](https://sentinel.esa.int/web/sentinel/home). The S3A_OL_1_EFR is a Level-1B product. This is composed of an information package map, called a manifest, 22 measurement data files, and seven annotation data files. The 21 measurement data files (one for each band) consist of Top Of Atmosphere (TOA) radiances, calibrated to geophysical units (W.m-2. sr-1 Micro meter-1), georeferenced onto the Earth's surface, and spatially resampled onto an evenly spaced grid. Seven annotation files provide information on illumination and observation geometry, environment data (meteorological data) and quality and classification flags. Both measurement data files and annotation data files are written in netCDF 4 format. The manifest file is in XML format and contains metadata associated with the instrument and the processing. The S3A_OL_1_EFR is generated in Earth Observation (EO) processing mode and all parameters in this product are provided for each re-gridded pixel on the product image and for each removed pixel. The OL_1_EFR product package is described below: Element name Description Manifest.safe SENTINEL-SAFE product manifest Oa##_radiance.nc Radiance for OLCI acquisition bands 01 to 21 Removed_pixels.nc Removed pixels information needed for Level-1C generation Time_coordinates.nc Time stamp annotations Geo_coordinates.nc High resolution georeferencing data Quality_flags.nc Classification and quality flags Tie_geo_coordinates.nc Low resolution georeferencing data Tie_geometries.nc Sun and view angles Tie_meteo.nc ECMWF meteorology data Instrument_data.nc Instrument data note: Oa## represents all the OLCI channels (Oa1 to Oa21).

Sentinel-3A OLCI Level-2 Regional Earth-observation Reduced Resolution (ERR) Ocean Color (OC) - Near Real-time (NRT) Data, version 2022.0
https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/concepts/C3406446308-OB_CLOUD.xmlDescription:The Ocean Biology DAAC produces near real-time (NRT) products using the best-available combination of ancillary data from meteorological and ozone data. As such, the inputs and the calibration used are less than optimal. Near real-time products provide a snapshot of the data during a short time period within a single orbit. The Ocean Color (OC) data suite provides calibrated, atmospherically corrected ocean-optics measurements and derived biogeophysical products. This data suite includes the Apparent Optical Properties (AOP) and provides satellite-derived measures of the interaction between solar radiation and the upper ocean.

Sentinel-3A OLCI Level-2 Regional Earth-observation Reduced-Resolution (ERR) Inherent Optical Properties (IOP), Near Real-time (NRT) Data, version 2022.0
https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/concepts/C3406446252-OB_CLOUD.xmlDescription:The Ocean Biology DAAC produces near real-time (NRT) products using the best-available combination of ancillary data from meteorological and ozone data. As such, the inputs and the calibration used are less than optimal. Near real-time products provide a snapshot of the data during a short time period within a single orbit. The Inherent Optical Properties (IOP) suite provides per-pixel inherent optical properties - quantities that describe how seawater and its constituents absorb and scatter light, independent of illumination or viewing geometry. IOPs are retrieved from spectral Remote Sensing Reflectance (Rrs) using the default configuration of the Generalized Inherent Optical Properties (GIOP) model framework. These products support water-type classification, water-clarity assessment, biogeochemical studies, and forward/adjoint radiative-transfer applications, and they enable more robust cross-sensor comparisons than purely apparent (AOP) products. This activity was informed by the Satellite Needs Working Group (SNWG), an interagency effort of the U.S. Government dedicated to identifying and addressing Earth observation needs across U.S. civilian federal agencies. Geophysical variables in this suite include: - a – Total absorption coefficient (sum of pure water + phytoplankton + CDOM/detritus, m⁻¹) - bb – Total backscattering coefficient (m⁻¹) - l2_flags – Level-2 processing flags (bitmask; see per-variable attributes for flag_masks and flag_meanings). - aph_443 – Phytoplankton absorption coefficient at 443 nm (m⁻¹) - aph_unc_443 – Uncertainty in absorption due to phytoplankton at 443 nm (m⁻¹) - adg_443 – Combined CDOM + non-algal detritus absorption coefficient at 443nm; accompanied by adg_s (spectral slope, units nm⁻¹). - adg_unc_443 – Uncertainty in absorption due to gelbstoff and detrital material at 443 nm (m⁻¹). - bbp_443 – Particulate backscattering coefficient at 443nm (m⁻¹); include bbp_s (power-law slope, unitless) describing spectral shape. - bbp_unc_443 – Uncertainty in particulate backscattering at 443 nm (m⁻¹). - rrsdiff – Fractional mean Rrs difference.
