Sentinel-1 GRD dataset

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.

Data structure

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/
