Summary ​
SLSTR_S3B (Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer) 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
SLSTR uses nadir and oblique views to improve atmospheric correction and surface-temperature retrievals. The recorded 1470 km swath is the nominal nadir-view coverage; the oblique view covers approximately 768 km. F1 and F2 share the spectral responses of S7 and S8, respectively, but use an extended dynamic range for active-fire observations. The nominal band definitions are shared by SLSTR-A and SLSTR-B, while their SRFs come from separate pre-flight calibration measurements.
