Processor: Sentinel-1: SLC Coherence (12 days)

The Sentinel-1: SLC Coherence (12 days) processor for polarimetric Sentinel-1 L1 SLC input data generates a Sentinel-1 Level 2 product describing the coherence of a pair of images 12 days apart. Concurrently, a terrain-correction (using DEM) is performed. The coherence product is often also referred to as Sentinel-1 L2 CARD-COH12 product. This processor provided by the Joint Research Centre is based on a GPT graph that can be run with ESA SNAP.

The Sentinel-1: SLC Coherence (12 days) processor is pre-configured and can be easily applied by registered users to any Sentinel-1 L1 SLC data on individual demand via the CODE-DE Data Explorer.

Processor details

  • Input data:
    • Sentinel-1 L1 SLC IW (Master Image)
  • Other data used for processing:
    • A data sets acquired 12 days before the master image and with the same orbit and footprint (slave images)
    • Precise orbit information from ESA
    • Copernicus DEM (GLO-30)
  • Methodology: Detailed information can be found in the links below
