摘要

Retrieval of operational optical products from the future Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) Sentinel-3 mission aims to provide continuity of existing missions delivering ocean/land colour, surface temperature and sea surface topography data. This paper describes the current status of the Sentinel-3 Level 2 Optical Prototype Processor (O-L2PP) whose development includes not only a list of products, but also associated uncertainty estimates-a key requirement for the processor. Examples of the approaches adopted within the Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) processing module demonstrate how uncertainties can be estimated.
