Moiseev, Artem; Johnsen, Harald (2022): Calibrated Sentinel-1B IW L2 OCN RVL observations collocated with MEPS, MyWaveWAM, and Norshelf simulations [dataset]. PANGAEA, https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.943627

The dataset contains pixel-based Doppler Centroid Anomaly (DCA) retrievals from the Sentinel-1B SAR Interferometric Wide (IW) Level 2 Ocean (OCN) Radial Velocity (RVL) over the ocean near the northern Norwegian coast (Fruholmen domain) in December 2017 - January 2018. The Sentinel-1 L2 RVL products were produced from Level 0 RAW data distributed by Copernicus. The DCA retrievals were then re-calibrated using an experimental two-step approach: (i) remove miss-pointing error due to unstable satellite attitude using gyroscope telemetry; (ii) remove antenna electronic miss-pointing errors using observations over the land within the scene. The SAR DCAs are collocated with the near-surface wind (ME, wind sea and swell, and surface current information from regional operational model (MEPS, MyWave, ROMS) simulations provided by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. Therefore, comprehensive information gathered in this dataset can be used for improving the interpretation of the satellite SAR retrievals, wave-current interactions, and upper ocean dynamics.
