Project Description

Copernicus is the world's largest single earth observation programme and is directed by the European Commission in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA). It aims at achieving a global, continuous, autonomous, high quality, wide range Earth observation capacity. The Sentinel missions are components of the Copernicus space segment, Sentinel-3 tasked primarily with ocean monitoring. Under contract for ESA, ARGANS led a team of scientists and developers in end-to-end development of the Sentinel-3 Ocean Land Colour Imager (OLCI), the Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR) Level 2 product prototype processors, including vegetation synergy products derived from combining both sensors.
