| Description: | OLCI (Ocean and Land Colour Instrument) is a medium-resolution imaging spectrometer that uses five cameras to provide a wide field of view. SLSTR and OLCI are optical instruments with an overlap of their swath path, allowing for new combined applications. This is currently the only sensor in space with the capabilities of detecting cyanobacteria |
| Definition: | (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinel-3, retrieved 2018-03-14) The SENTINEL-3 Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) is based on the opto-mechanical and imaging design of ENVISAT's MERIS instrument. The main characteristics of the OLCI are: swath width: 1 270 km push-broom imaging spectrometer with five cameras, mitigation of sun-glint contamination by tilting cameras in westerly direction spatial sampling: 300 m @ SSP spectrum: 21 bands [0.4-1.02] µm radiometric accuracy: 2% abs, 0.1% rel launch mass: 153 kg size: 1.3 m3 design lifetime: 7.5 years.
