A pause in MUSCATE production, end of February

The MUSCATE production centre will be offline for a week from February 25th to March 4th (or maybe the week after, please see Theia’s RSS feed to see the exact date). This pause will be necessary to upgrade the processing centre to V2.5. As a result, we will not be able, for a week, to process Sentinel-2 data in real time, and hope it will not be too inconvenient to you. In case you need some data urgently, you can ask PEPS to produce MAJA L2A data for you during that period. The main change regards the internal format used by MUSCATE for Sentinel-2 Level 2A products. This internal format is different from the external format that we distribute, and this results in unnecessary product format conversions, as well as the necessity to develop drivers for the various formats (internal and external) for the processors that use Sentinel-2 L2A data within MUSCATE. To enable this modification, it will be necessary to convert all the L2A data from the internal format to the external format, which will take a whole week. MUSCATE V2.5 will bring other improvements, such as the integration of MAJA 3.1, with possibility to use Copernicus Atmosphere data, or a new version of LIS, the processor that delivers the snow maps.MUSCATE  V2.6 is also ready and queuing to be installed, with MAJA 3.2, WASP and the possibility to process Venµs L2A data within MUSCATE and not externally on Venµs ground segent.

Dates de fauche en France

En 2024, des collègues du Cesbio ont publié un article* sur la cartographie de la date de fauche en France en 2022 à partir des données satellitaires Sentinel-2.   Leur magnifique figure 10 a attiré mon attention. La version à haute résolution fournie avec l’article (2861 × 2911 pixels) correspond à une image dont les pixels font […]

Évolution du jour de déneigement dans les Alpes françaises et les Pyrénées

Les socio-écosystèmes des Alpes et des Pyrénées dépendent étroitement des fluctuations annuelles du manteau neigeux. En particulier, le moment de l’année où la neige disparait détermine le début de la saison de croissance de la végétation de montagne et donc la période des estives. Le changement climatique est en train de bouleverser ce rythme saisonnier. […]

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 […]
