Collard et al. (2022) have shown that Sentinel-2 can be used to estimate the wave spectrum in the presence sea ice. The waves tilt the sea ice surface and therefore modulate the reflected radiation that is received by Sentinel-2 sensor. The wave spectrum extracted from the image can even be used to invert the wave […]

Last week, Simon Gascoin and I spent quite some time working on the Marmolada event. Just a week-end to rest and Twitter reminded us Monday morning that this summer 2022 was special for glaciers. Not only are they out of balance with the climate and will probably suffer one of their most negative mass balance […]

Colleagues from ESA are reportedly claiming that the cloud masks from the new version v2.10 of Sen2cor are « as good as those of MAJA, if not better ». Well, let’s check. MAJA is the Level2A processor we designed within CESBIO and CNES, to process time series of images such as those of Sentinel-2, LANDSAT, VENµS, TRISHNA, […]

Ce mercredi 6 juillet, le CESBIO a accueilli les membres de différents CES Theia pour une formation au logiciel Iota². Ce logiciel open-source permet le traitement des séries temporelles issues des missions Sentinel. Cette formation a été organisée dans le cadre du projet CNES TOSCA PARCELLE qui vise à soutenir le développement de Iota2. Quinze […]

The deadly Marmolada glacier collapse happened on 3 July 2022. On 6 July 2022, Pléiades 1B (CNES, Airbus DS) acquired a clear-sky stereo pair of the area. From these images we could estimate a detached volume of ice of 65’000 ± 10’000 cubic meters. First, we generated a digital elevation model (DEM) from Pléiades stereo […]

A bug affecting the AOT estimates and leading to underestimated surface reflectances in some rare cases concerns all MAJA v4.x versions prior to 4.5.4. Users activating the CAMS option shouldn’t have noticed, but if you don’t use CAMS auxiliary data you may face this issue. Therefore, we highly recommend all users to upgrade to the […]

Alors que les bassines se développent en France pour stocker l’eau en particulier en Pays de la Loire, elles sont aussi utilisées au Maroc dans un environnement bien plus aride. Dans la région désertique entre Errachidia et Boudnib, près de la frontière algérienne, l’apparition de ces piscines géantes a transformé le paysage. L’eau est prélevée […]
