Persian Gulf and Arabian Desert

This RGB image of the Persic Gulf and the southern part of the Arabian peninsula is a mosaic of two different Sentinel-3A OLCI L1 products. Those full resolution frames have a resolution of around 300 meters and are joined and reprojected in the World Geodetic System S3A_OL_1_EFR____20161020T063425_20161020T063725_20161020T090536_0179_010_077_2520_SVL_O_NR_002.SEN3 S3A_OL_1_EFR____20161020T063725_20161020T064025_20161020T084419_0179_010_077_2700_SVL_O_NR_002.SEN3 https://scihub.copernicus.eu/ Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data 2016

Turkey and Cyprus

One of the first images of S3-A, after the product publishing started on October 20th, 2016. The image is an RGB processing, generated from an OLCI L1 product, using three bands: 681.25 nm (red), 560 nm (green) and 442.5 nm (blue). The reprojection is performed using the WGS 84 coordinate system: it is possible to evaluate the geolocation
