Sentinel-3 is the GMES space component for monitoring the oceans. The SRAL instrument onboardSentinel-3 is a radar altimeter that will provide observations of sea-surface and land-ice topography, in continuationof altimeter missions such as ENVISAT, Jason-1 and Jason-2. Furthermore, the SRAL instrument will operate ina SAR mode and provide along-track high-resolution heights of the sea surface in the open oceans, in the coastalseas, in-land water and sea ice areas. The SAR capability is a new feature and no data products based on thisSAR mode data are provided or used operationally. New methodologies and new data processing chains need tobe developed to prepare the take-up of the GMES Sentinel-3 data.The LOTUS project will develop new methodologies, data processing chains, and applications of the SAR modedata for the high resolution sea surface heights, wave heights and wind speeds in the open oceans, coastal seas aswell as in sea ice covered regions for operational marine services. For the operational land services, the LOTUSproject will develop new methodologies, data processing chains, and applications of the SAR mode data for thein-land water levels in rivers and lakes, soil moisture, and snow water equivalents. In turn, the new products basedon the SAR mode data will support operational services for emergency response and security in the events of, e.g.,storm surges and flooding. The new land products will provide valuable information about the hydrological cycleand support services on monitoring hydrological parameters for climate change. This poster presents the projectobjectives and some preliminary results.
