Sentinel 1A C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR): Interferometric Wide (IW) mode Ground Range Detected (GRD) High Resolution (HR) Level 1 data

This dataset contains Interferometric Wide swath (IW) Ground Range Detected (GRD) High Resolution (HR) C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from the European Space Agency (ESA) Sentinel 1A satellite. Sentinel 1A was launched on 3rd April 2014 and provides continuous all-weather, day and night imaging radar data. The IW mode is the main operational mode. The IW mode supports single (HH or VV) and dual (HH+HV or VV+VH) polarisation. These data are available via CEDA to any registered scientific user in the UK.
