Sentinel-3 in the Copernicus Ecosystem

Welcome. In this video, we explore one of the most technically sophisticated missions within the Copernicus Earth Observation Programme: Sentinel-3. To understand what makes it distinctive, it helps to briefly place it within the broader context of the programme. Sentinel-1 is a radar mission that provides structural and surface deformation information regardless of cloud cover or lighting conditions. Sentinel-2 delivers high-resolution multispectral optical imagery, optimised for detailed land surface analysis at field and landscape scale. Sentinel-5P monitors the composition of the atmosphere, tracking pollutants and greenhouse gases at global scale. Sentinel-3 was designed with
