Sentinel-6 Level-2P skewness products
Type of dataset: Sentinel-6 Skewness Products (S6_L2P_Skewness)
Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs): 10.24400/527896/A01-2024.012 - more metadata
Condition of access: This product is distributed by AVISO under standard AVISO+ license agreement.
Contents: This product provides skewness parameter and swh and sigma0 parameters.. The dataset includes measurements from Sentinel-6 in High and Low resolutions.
Use:
Description: The Sentinel-6 Level-2P skewness products was developed to estimate the skewness from Sentinel-6 LR and HR acquisitions. That demonstration product is generated by different retracking processes, provides an initial estimation of such a phenomenon and allows a finer description of the sea state.
Geographic coverage: global.
Citation: Any use of this dataset must be verified in the AVISO+ license and must cite its DOI 10.24400/527896/a01-2024.012 as well as the following sentence: "This product "L2P skewness demonstration products (CLS/CNES) was produced by CNES/CLS cooperation and distributed by AVISO+ with the support from CNES."
