The Sentinel-3 Altimetry products currently distributed on EUMETCast Africa are available in Non-Time Critical (NTC) timeliness and Short-Time Critical (STC) timeliness.
ESA will discontinue the generation of these products on 20 September 2023.
They will be replaced by a new Sentinel-3 land hydrology thematic product for Africa, which will also be available in NTC and STC timeliness.
