  "text": "Data acquired by the Sentinels shall be automatically downlinked to the core ground stations and systematically processed by the Payload Data Ground Segment. The data shall be systematically processed to generate a set of pre-defined core products (called Level 0, Level 1 and Level 2). These core products shall be made available to the Copernicus users (‘user products’) according to well defined timeliness ranging from Near-Real Time (NRT) to Non-Time Critical (NTC), available typically within 3 to 24 or 48 hours after being sensed by the satellite.\nTable 3 lists the Data products that shall be made available from the Copernicus Dedicated Missions. The user products for Sentinel-4, -5 and -6 shall be specified during the development phase. A detailed list of all products shall be made publicly available.\nTable 3\nSummary Copernicus Dedicated Missions Data Products list\nThe generation of Sentinel-2 Level 2 data shall be made available through the Sentinels Core Ground Segment or shall be enabled through a toolbox running at the users' side.\nUser Product Category\nProduct content/Description\nSentinel-1\nSAR Level 0\nCompressed unfocused SAR raw data\nSAR Level 1 Single Look Complex\nFocused SAR Complex data, georeferenced, provided in slant-range geometry\nSAR Level 1 Ground Range Detected Full Resolution\nFocussed SAR complex data, georeferenced, multi-looked and projected to ground range geometry\nSAR Level 2 Ocean Product\nGeolocated geophysical parameters (e.g. Ocean Wind Field, Wave Spectra and Radial Velocity)\nSentinel-2\nMulti-spectral instrument Level-1\nTop of Atmosphere Reflectance's in Cartographic Geometry\nMulti-spectral instrument Level-2\nBottom of Atmosphere Reflectance's in Cartographic Geometry\nSentinel-3 (common for Marine and Land)\nOcean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) Level 1\nOLCI Top of Atmosphere Radiances, ortho-geolocated and re-sampled\nSea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR) Level 1\nSLSTR Brightness temperatures and Top of Atmosphere Radiances ortho-geolocated and re-sampled\nSentinel-3 partim Marine\nSurface Topography Mission (STM) Level 2\nGeophysical parameters over ocean (e.g. surface backscatter, sea surface height, significant wave height, ocean depth, tide height, sea ice concentration, sea ice freeboard, sea surface wind speed, rain rate)\nOLCI Level 2\nGeophysical parameters over ocean (e.g. sea surface reflectance, algal pigment concentration, suspended matter concentrations)\nSLSTR Level-2\nSea Surface Temperature\nSentinel-3 partim Land\nSurface Topography Mission (STM) Level 2\nGeophysical parameters over land (e.g. surface backscatter, altimetry range, surface height, snow density and depth)\nOLCI Level 2\nGeophysical parameters over land (e.g. photosynthetically active radiation, global vegetation index)\nSLSTR Level-2\nLand Surface Temperature\nOLCI and SLSTR Synergy products\nGeophysical parameters over land (Land surface reflectance's and aerosol load over land)\nSentinel-5p\nTROPOMI instrument level-2\nOzone, Nitrogen Dioxide, Sulphur Dioxide, Formaldehyde, Carbon Monoxide, Methane, Aerosols, Clouds\nJason-3 (Europe-US cooperation mission, operations are funded by Copernicus)\nGeophysical Data Records Level 2\nGeocoded products corresponding to altimetry parameters.",
