Copernicus Climate Change Service: Earth Radiation Budget L3 data from the SLSTR series, versions 3.1.1 and 4.0
Abstract
This record comprises 5.5 years (Jan 2017-Jun 2022) of global Earth radiation budget observations from the Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR) instruments, flown on board the Copernicus Sentinel-3A and B satellites. The data is provided as monthly 0.5 x 0.5 degree, longitude-latitude averages containing top-of-atmosphere outgoing longwave radiation and reflected solar radiation.
The data comes separately for each SLSTR instrument (v3.1.1 files) and as a combined SLSTR-A and SLSTR-B product (v4.0 files).
This dataset is a continuation of the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative version 3.0 cloud product (Cloud_cci), produced from the Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) instruments, supplied to the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). Full details of the dataset, include data-quality and validation information can be found via the C3S Climate Data Store (CDS).
