Sentinel-2A distribution starts

In English Sentinel-2

Olivier Hagolle, 3 décembre 2015

I am very happy to share the news of the opening of Sentinel-2A data access on the Scientific Data Hub on https://scihub.esa.int/ Up to now only data acquired after the 28th of November are available, but ESA says :

We will also reprocess any useful data from the Commissioning Phase and the recent weeks after IOCR, and gradually populate the Hubs with those data. However, the reprocessing campaign for data acquired during and aftercCommissioning Phase, is foreseen to be finalised in Q2/2016.

This is not perfectly good news, as we will have to wait for quite some time to get these data. To get more information from ESA :

The Sentinel-2A data quality status can be found here.Sentinel-2 is currently in its Ramp-up Phase, milestones can be found here.With an average of 10 minutes MSI sensing time per orbit, Sentinel-2A is currently acquiring Europe and Africa systematic on every orbit, while the rest of the sunlit world land masses between 56 degrees South and 84 degrees North will be mapped with a 30 days revisit time. A new version (V2.0) of the S2 toolbox is available at http://step.esa.int/main/download 

Congratulations to the whole S2A ESA teams (and their partners, including CNES) for this achievement !

Sentinel-2 reveals the surface deformation after the 2025 Myanmar earthquake

Sentinel-2 captured several clear-sky images of Myanmar before and after the 28 March 2025 earthquake. The animation below shows a 5-day apart sequence of images captured by Sentinel-2B and Sentinel-2C (10 m resolution) near the epicenter located close to Mandalay. The surface slip due to the earthquake follows the Sagaing Fault, a major fault in […]

Evolution de l’altitude de la ligne de neige au cours des 41 dernières années dans le bassin versant du Vénéon (Oisans)

Pour contribuer à caractériser les conditions hydrométéorologiques lors de la crue torrentielle qui a frappé la Bérarde en juin, j’ai analysé une nouvelle série de cartes d’enneigement qui couvre la période 1984-2024 [1]. Grâce à la profondeur temporelle de cette série, on constate que l’altitude de la ligne de neige dans le bassin versant du […]
