NOAA CoastWatch Sentinel-1C data availability

NOAA CoastWatch has added Sentinel-1C (S1C) Normalized Radar Cross Section (NRCS) data to its data portal.  The latest addition joins data from Sentinel-1A, Sentinel-1B, and 3 satellites from the RADARSAT Constellation Mission (1, 2, and 3).  These Level-2 data are processed by the Water Surface Conditions (WSC) team led by Marilyn Yuen Murphy.  Retrospective S1C data will be backfilled to aid users such as the Naval Surface Warfare Center, International Ice Patrol, and various academic researchers.  The NRCS is processed daily by the WSC Science team and integrated into the Level-2 geospatial-temporal search database hosted by NOAA CoastWatch.  Users can request data by interactively selecting a date range, drawing a polygon,  and submitting the search or through automated means by submitting a crafted URL to the CoastWatch Application Programmers Interface (API).
