Copernicus Marine satellite observations
Discover marine observations available through Copernicus Marine satellite observations, including parameters, platforms, spatial and temporal coverage, metadata, and access methods.
- Operator
- Copernicus Marine Service
- Role
- Harmonized satellite observation products
- Platforms
- Multiple satellite missions
- Observed variables
- SST; sea level/altimetry; waves; ocean color; sea ice; winds and other ocean ECVs depending catalogue
- Spatial coverage
- Global + regional seas
- Period
- Product-specific; NRT + multi-year
- Depth coverage
- Mostly surface; some sea-ice/altimetry-derived vertical-like quantities
- QC and data mode
- Producer + Copernicus QC
- Access method
- Use catalogue `describe`; use `subset` by variable/bbox/time; use `get` for original files
- Indexed download targets
