Release of Theia Sentinel-2 L2A data over la Réunion

Because of the little issues we stumbled upon when producing Sentinel-2 level 2A data over France with MUSCATE, we had not yet demonstrated an end-to-end production, with a distribution on the operational server. While waiting for the end of the production of data over metropolitan France, we did this test the processing of Réunion Island. 

The island is covered by only one Sentinel-2 tile, but the processing worked very smoothly, which is a very good sign after all teh difficulties we met. The data are now released on :

https://theia.cnes.fr

 We processed all the available data, strating from January the 18th, 2016, until end of November. To produce the data acquired later on, we are waiting for the new version of PEPS, compatible with the new Sentinel-2 data format. We hope it will be possible as soon as February. .The data set includes a nice image of the eruption of the Piton de la Fournaise volcano, in September. Regarding the data quality, you may find that the cloud shadows are a little exaggerated. We will try to fix that with a better tuning of the threshold for the next versions.

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 […]

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 […]
