Theia releases Sentinel-2A L2A data over Morocco

=> After France, Belgium, North of Spain, Tunisia, a transect from Burkina Faso to Mali and some tiles in Ethiopia, Theia just released the production of one year of Sentinel-2A data at Level 2A above a large region of Morocco, from Ouarzazate to Casablanca. Level 2A products provide surface reflectances corrected from atmospheric effects, with a high quality cloud mask. The L2A data are, as always, available from https://theia.cnes.fr. Please refer to the help page to find the data format description. To download the data without a click, you may use our python download tool (after having registered on Theia’s site).

Once again, this production was not an easy one, as our new CNES cluster suffered again from slowness. But the good news is that the technical teams found a better tuning to ensure a more steady production, and seem to have found a way to solve the issue, that will be installed next Tuesday.

The missing link to valorize CESBIO’s applicative research works

=>  My colleagues at CESBIO are extremely creative! Over the past ten years, they have developed a wide range of new products and methods for extracting information from Copernicus data. They don’t just develop and validate the method on a few sites; they continue their work until they have produced data for the whole of […]

Le chaînon manquant dans la valorisation des travaux de recherche en télédétection

=> Mes collègues du CESBIO sont très créatifs ! Ils ont mis au point, au cours des dix dernières années, un grand nombre de nouveaux produits et de méthodes d’extraction de l’information à partir des données Copernicus (Sentinel-1 et 2). Et bien souvent, ils ne s’arrêtent pas à la mise au point de la méthode […]

Sentinel-2 overtakes Landsat in scientific litterature

OpenAlex is a new, yet already very useful, open database for exploring scientific literature. For an upcoming blog post on the CNES Datacampus website, I analysed the proportion of papers that used only one of the Sentinel-2 or Landsat missions, as well as those that used both, in 2025. What struck me was that Sentinel-2 […]
