Sentinel-1 Level-1 GRD RGB composite

This service takes one or up to two consecutive GRD Sentinel-1 Level-1 acquisitions (on the same day) as input to create an RGB composite. The RGB is based on Sentinel-1 polarization. More specifically:

  • Red: VV (linear)
  • Green: HH (linear)
  • Blue: VV / VH in linear (equivalent of VV-VH for dB)

Furthermore, the service offers the possibility to put two input products to make the slice-assembly. For the slice-assembly the two Sentinel-1 GRD data products must be same track, same day and consecutive.

EO sources supported

This service supports as input the Sentinel-1 Level-1 GRD products.

DEM Type

The Copernicus DEM (CDEM) is used.
