Description

This dataset contains the products used for calibration and validation of the Observational Products for End-Users from Remote Sensing Analysis (OPERA) Radiometric Terrain Corrected (RTC) SAR Backscatter from Sentinel-1 (S1) validated product. The OPERA RTC-S1 product is derived from the original Copernicus Sentinel-1 Interferometric Wide (IW) Single Look Complex (SLC) data, provided by the European Space Agency, with a near global scope and temporal sampling coincident with the availability of S1 SLC data.
