Sentinel-3 Land / Sea masks (1/2)
Land/sea masks apply to Level 2 products only. Level 1 products make no
distinction, and provide the mask as annotation data.
Optical products (OLCI, SLSTR, Synergy): land and water masks are fully complementary
and do not overlap. Major lakes are flagged as “sea”.OLCI Level 2 Products: The Land and Water split
Examples extracted by a simulation of 3 minutes frame for OLCI Level 2 Full Resolution products
MarineLand OL_2_LFR OL_2_WFR
Water is masked in blue, no values are provided for these pixels.
Land is masked in grey, no values are provided for these pixels
Example of geophysical product:OLCI Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index (OTCI)
Example of geophysical product:Chlorophyll Concentration for open ocean waters (CHL_OC4ME)
The Land and Water masks are perfectly complementary.
The cloud mask is also provided in white for a better interpretation of the information.

Sentinel-3 Land / Sea masks (2/2)
Altimetry products (SRAL): masks do overlap inside and outside the coastline.
SRAL Subsatellite Track
SRAL Level 2 Marine Products will contain
information sensed over the white area (Open
Ocean and Sea-Ice) and the green area (Coastal
zones and part of the land within a certain
distance from the coastline)
SRAL Level 2 Marine and Land Products are split according to the figure below
SRAL Level 2 Land Products will contain
information sensed over the black area (Land)
and the green area (Coastal zones and part of
the land within a certain distance from the
coastline)
Coastal Area (up to 300km from the
coastline) and part of the Land (few
km from the coastline)
Land Area: including
rivers and Lakes
Open Ocean
Both Products will contain the measurements over the coastal areas
(up to 300 Km offshore) and part of the Land within a few km from the
coastline
