Olivier Hagolle, 19 avril 2016

=>Thuy le Toan, Thi-Hoa Phan and Alexandre Bouvet from CESBIO just released a nice result on ESA website obtained with time series of Sentinel- 1A images.  On this very cloudy region, the C band radar Sentinel-1A allows to monitor the growth stages of rice, and allow to detect a large reduction of the surface of rice crops at the end of 2015, 2015, in the Mekong delta region. This region suffered from a severe drought related to the El Niño. This news gives us the opportunity to recall that Sentinel familly will receive a new member, Sentinel-1B, to be launched on April the 22nd.It may be also an opportunity to great new authors on this blog, for instance to explain us how this nice result was obtained ?

Capturing the Diurnal Cycle of Urban Overheating with ECOSTRESS data

The successive heat waves of the summer of 2026 remind us of the urgent need to take action to adapt to episodes of extreme heat that are set to become more frequent, intense, and occur earlier in the year. In this context, the urban heat island effect emerges as a major problem. Indeed, cities, as […]

Évolution journalière de la température de surface en ville : apport du capteur ECOSTRESS

Les canicules successives de cet été 2026 nous rappellent l’urgence d’agir pour s’adapter à des épisodes de chaleur extrême appelés à devenir plus fréquents, intenses et précoces. Dans ce contexte, la surchauffe urbaine apparaît comme un problème majeur. En effet, les villes, telles qu’elles sont construites aujourd’hui, présentent des températures plus élevées de plusieurs degrés […]

Near real time snow cover maps in the Copernicus Browser!

Copernicus provides near real time snow cover maps at 20 m resolution (fractional snow cover, code name: FSC OG). These products have been recently reprocessed and are now available through the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem (CDSE) API and visualization tool, the Copernicus Browser! The latter is very useful to explore the data, for example if […]
