Sentinel 3B Synthetic Aperture Radar Altimeter (SRAL) Level 1B data

This dataset contains level 1b altimetry data from the Synthetic Aperture Radar Altimeter (SRAL) aboard the European Space Agency (ESA) Sentinel 3B Satellite. Sentinel 3B was launched on the 25th of April 2018. These level 1b products are geo-located and fully calibrated multi-looked High-Resolution power echoes. Complex echoes (In-phase (I) and Quadrature (Q)) for the Low-Resolution Mode (LRM) and/or Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) mode both for C Band and Ku band. When the altimeter is in SAR mode, this product also contains the so-called Pseudo LRM (PLRM) echoes. All Sentinel-3 Non-Time Critical (NTC) products are available in less than 30 days. Data are provided by ESA and are made available via CEDA to any registered user.
