Summary ​
OLCI_S3B (Ocean and Land Colour Instrument) is an operational multispectral instrument operated by ESA, EUMETSAT, Copernicus on Sentinel-3B. It is associated with a satellite platform and has public data availability.
NOTE
The nominal band definitions are shared by OLCI-A and OLCI-B. The supplied spectral response functions are representative mean responses derived from preflight spectral characterization. Spectral characteristics vary across CCD columns and can evolve during the mission; orbit-dependent spectral characterization LUTs should be used when that variability matters.
