MERIS

How to obtain MERIS data

• MERIS Data Product Overview
• MERIS Level 1 Full Resolution Full Swath data (MER_FRS_1P) via FTP
• MERIS Data through the MERIS MERCI system
• Notes: 10 years of Envisat MERIS Level 1 Full Resolution data (FRS – 300m) covering the entire archive from May 2002 to April 2012 have been systematically processed, and the full FRS L1 dataset can be accessed from a new MERCI server. The calibration has been harmonised across the full mission and is consistent with the 3rd MERIS Reduced Resolution (RR) reprocessing. Processing of the MERIS Level 2 FRS archive (with 3rd reprocessing configuration) is foreseen to take place in 2014. The MERIS FR/FRS Level 1 on-request production service will be gradually phased out after the release of the FRS L1 mission dataset online. Please contact EOHelp for any further information.

MERIS DATA at NASA:

As part of the NASA-ESA data sharing collaboration, NASA has ingested and processed the complete mission long MERIS FRS-300 m dataset. This data set, along with the corresponding Level-2 products that have been produced using the standard NASA processing methodologies, is available at:

• NASA’s multi-mission browse/order/distribution web browser – includes MERIS reduced resolution (RR) data set.
