This collection contains Sentinel-3 Level-1 products recorded by the OLCI (Ocean and Land Colour) instrument. The data consist of top-of-atmosphere radiances, ortho-geolocated and re-sampled onto an along-track and across-track grid. The Sentinel-3 mission, jointly operated by ESA and EUMETSAT, is designed as a constellation of two identical polar orbiting satellites, separated by 180°, for the provision of long-term operational marine and land monitoring services.

The Sentinel-3 OLCI Level-1 processing is divided into three processing modes. Earth Observation mode deals with Level-0 products to compute radiometric measurements for each OLCI band. Radiometric and spectral calibration processing modes aim to compute calibration coefficients.
