Overview

 

ESA and EUMETSAT rely on the involvement of the international scientific community to assess and validate Sentinel-3 data products, through field experiments and campaigns. In order to achieve this purpose, the Agencies have organized a joint Sentinel-3 Scientific Validation Team (S3VT). It brings together experts from all over the world in relevant mission validation activities to provide independent validation evidence, experimental data and recommendations.
