Sentinel-1 Backscatter Imagery

The Sentinel-1 mission is a constellation of C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites from the European Space Agency, launched since 2014. These satellites collect observations of radar backscatter intensity day or night, regardless of weather conditions, making them enormously valuable for environmental monitoring. This dataset provides processed data from original Ground Range Detected (GRD) scenes into a Radiometrically Terrain Corrected (RTC), tiled product suitable for analysis.

This analysis-ready product is available over the Contiguous United States (CONUS), with data available since 2017. While data updates are currently paused for pipeline repair, the target frequency is a daily cadence for its spatial domain. The use of these data falls under the terms and conditions of the Indigo Atlas Sentinel License.

Documentation for the dataset is available, and questions regarding data methodology or delivery can be directed to sentinel1@indigoag.com. The dataset is managed by Indigo Ag, Inc., and usage examples include tutorials on comparing Cloud-Optimized Geotiffs hosted on S3 using SageMaker Studio Lab.
