Sentinel 6
• Sentinel-6 carries a
radar altimeter to
provide high-
precision and timely
observations of the
topography of the
global ocean.
• Key indicator of
Climate Change
• Mapping up to 95%
of Earth’s ice-free
ocean every 10 days
Slide 15
➢ ESA Sentinel Data Policy (Sep 2013) and EU Delegated Act on Copernicus Data and Information Policy (Dec 2013)
➢ Main principles of Sentinel data policy:
➢ Open access to Sentinel data by anybody and for any use
➢ Free of charge data licenses
➢ Restrictions possible due to technical limitations or for security reasons
Sentinel Data Policy =FULL, FREE, OPEN access
