Copernicus Sentinel-1 is equipped with advanced synthetic aperture radar that operates in several specialised modes to provide detailed images for the European Copernicus programme. This data is used for applications such as monitoring the oceans, including shipping lanes, sea ice, icebergs and oil spills. It also provides data for mapping changes in land cover, ground deformation, ice shelves and glaciers, and can be used during disasters such as flooding and to support humanitarian relief efforts in times of crisis.
