The Sentinel-1 is a pair of European radar imaging (SAR) satellites launched in 2014 and 2016. Its 6 days revisit cycle and ability to observe through clouds makes it perfect for sea and land monitoring, emergency response due to environmental disasters, and economic applications. This dataset represents the global Sentinel-1 GRD archive, from beginning to the present, converted to cloud-optimized GeoTIFF format.
Each file is its own object in Amazon S3.. The basic data format is the following:
[product type]/[year]/[month]/[day]/[mode]/[polarization]/[product identifier]
For example, the files for individual scene are available in the following location:
s3://sentinel-s1-l1c/GRD/2018/1/11/EW/DH/S1A_EW_GRDH_1SDH_20180111T110409_20180111T110513_020106_02247C_FBAB/
Where:
[product type]
= GRD
- GRD or SLC
[year]
= e.g. 2018
- is the year the data was collected.
[month]
= e.g. 1
- is the month of the year the data was collected (without leading zeros).
[day]
= e.g. 11
- is the day of the month the data was collected (without leading zeros).
[mode]
= e.g. EW
- IW, EW, WV, IW1-IW3, EW1-EW5, WV1-WV2, S1-S6, IS1-IS7; note that modes depend on the [product type[
[polarization]
= e.g. DH
- DH, DV, SH, SV, VH, HV, HV, VH; note that polarizations depend on the observation scenario
product identifier
- original product identifier
If you use the AWS Command Line Interface, you can list data in the bucket with the “ls” command:
aws s3 ls s3://sentinel-s1-l1c/GRD/ --request-payer
The data is in Requester Pays S3 bucket.
