Sentinel-1 A and B satellites are part of Europe’s Copernicus Earth Observation program and carry identical C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) instruments. Over open-ocean, they operate in wave mode and collect directional wave measurements globally. This dataset contains Sentinel-1 SAR directional ocean swell wave number spectra, spectral partitions and partition bulks in the Australasian region including the Pacific islands, this mission has flown since 2014, with data delivered from July 2015. The data have been homogenised to a single, easily usable format from inconsistent source product by removing various discrepancies such as inconsistencies in wave number bins and values, variables and erroneous measurements over land. The data represented by this record, are presented in real-time.
