OLCI+SLSTR/Sentinel-3A L2 Surface Reflectance and Aerosol parameters over Land

The OLCI+SLSTR/Sentinel-3A L2 Surface Reflectance and Aerosol parameters over Land product with shortname S3A_SY_2_SYN, is generated by combining data acquired by the Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) and the Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR), on-board 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 whereas the SLSTR is a dual scan temperature radiometer. 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.

The S3A_SY_2_SYN is a Level 2 product which consist of surface reflectances for all SYN channels and aerosol parameters over Land. There are 29 Measurement Data Files and 9 Annotation Data Files included in this product. All measurement datasets are provided on the OLCI image grid, similar to the one included in the OLCI L1b product.
