Pre-operational Sentinel-3 snow and ice products (SICE) is a 12 month contract (4000125043/18/I-NB) spanning year 2019.
SICE is to deliver an automated open source processing chain using Sentinel-3 OLCI and SLSTR data to determine a dry/wet snow and clean/polluted bare ice spectral and broadband optical albedo 1 km daily product for land ice (glaciers, ice caps, ice sheet).
SICE is

SICE evolved from Sentinel-3 has evolved from the European Space Agency (ESA) Scientific Exploitation of Operational Missions (SEOM)Sentinel-3 for Science, Land Study 1: Snow (ESRIN Contract 4000118926/16/I-NB S34SCI Land Study 1. Snow) that ran 16 Dec 2016 – 29 Jan, 2019.

This project starts providing processors to generate snow and ice optical products for the land ice cryosphere and snow covered areas, that extend the coverage of NASA MODIS data into the future now with Sentinel-3A operating since Oct 2016 and Sentinel-3B also now operating.
