=>In a previous post, i have briefly presented: To classify irrigated farmland, within the growing period and at the scale of a territory, we focused on the use of optical remote sensing images. In the lines below, I will introduce the work to generate maps of irrigated crops usin Landsat-8 time series level 2A made […]

=> We are preparing the distribution of maps of the snow cover extent made from the Sentinel-2 data for Theia. If the method used to detect the snow is based on well-proven concepts, spatial and temporal resolution of the snow maps will however quite unprecedented. Until now, maps of the snow cover extent were usually produced […]

=> Dans le cadre du pôle thématique Theia nous préparons la distribution de cartes d’enneigement établies à partir des images Sentinel-2. Si la méthode utilisée pour la détection du manteau neigeux se base sur des concepts bien éprouvés, la résolution spatio-temporelle des cartes d’enneigement sera en revanche tout à fait inédite. Jusqu’ici les cartes d’enneigement […]
