I-SEAMORE Troia region Sentinel-1 data cube

This dataset is an Analysis Ready Data (ARD) cube derived from Sentinel-1 imagery, specifically designed to support the research objectives of the I-SEAMORE project. The time series covers a nine-month period, running from January to September 2025, and focuses on the project’s dedicated test area in Troia, Portugal. The primary purpose of this collection is to provide a standardized, pre-processed temporal stack of satellite data, simplifying its use for advanced analytical applications such as maritime surveillance. The source data originates from the Sentinel-1 mission, which utilizes a C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (C-SAR) instrument. The mission was launched in April 2014 and remains operational today. These images offer a resolution range of 5m to 40m, depending on the sensor mode and feature an average observation period of 12 - 5 days. The raw data is accessed as open data through the Copernicus Data Spaces Ecosystem, and the original format is specified as SENTINEL-SAFE/GeoTIFF, with access supported via HTTP, S3 and API. For comprehensive details on the source data, please consult the official metadata link: https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/explore-data/data-collections/sentinel-data/sentinel-1. The information contained within this final ARD data cube is tailored for efficient processing and distribution. The entire cube is provided at a consistent 12-meter spatial resolution and is projected in WGS 84 / Pseudo-Mercator (EPSG: 3857). Crucially, the final dataset is distributed in COG (Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF) format.
