The Sentinel-3 Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (S3 OLCI) documentation provides an overview of the software and processing chain used to generate Sentinel-3 OLCI products within the Earth Observation Processing Framework (EOPF). It describes how data acquired by the Ocean and Land Colour Instrument are processed into Level-1 and Level-2 products supporting ocean colour, land surface and environmental monitoring applications.
The document presents the architecture and configuration of the S3 OLCI processor, detailing product structures, auxiliary data usage and processing workflows in accordance with EOPF standards. It explains how legacy mission concepts are integrated into a modern, harmonised processing framework, enabling consistent, traceable and reproducible product generation. Overall, the documentation serves as a mission-specific reference that aligns Sentinel-3 OLCI processing with the wider EOPF ecosystem and supports a sustainable approach to multi-mission Earth Observation data processing.
