Sentinel-1 SLC dataset for South and Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Korea and Japan

Description

The S1 Single Look Complex (SLC) dataset contains Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data in the C-Band wavelength. The SAR sensors are installed on a two-satellite (Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B) constellation orbiting the Earth with a combined revisit time of six days, operated by the European Space Agency. The S1 SLC data are a Level-1 product that collects radar amplitude and phase information in all-weather, day or night conditions, which is ideal for studying natural hazards and emergency response, land applications, oil spill monitoring, sea-ice conditions, and associated climate change effects.

Update Frequency

S1 SLC data for the region of interest will be updated regularly, as it becomes available on the Alaska Satellite Facility endpoint.

License

The data usage will inherit and fully comply with the free and open data policy from ESA’s Sentinel Data Policy.
