=> The LANDSAT-8 and SENTINEL-2 satellites have a spectral band centered on the 1.38µm wavelength, which is designed to allow the detection of high altitude clouds. This spectral band corresponds to a strong absorption band of water vapour. its absorption is so strong that a photon emitted by the sun in this wavelength has nearly […]

=> Les satellites LANDSAT-8 et SENTINEL-2 possèdent une bande spectrale centrée sur la longueur d’onde 1.38 µm, destinée à la détection des nuages hauts. Cette bande spectrale correspond à une forte bande d’absorption de la vapeur d’eau. Cette absorption est tellement forte qu’il est très peu probable qu’un photon émis par le soleil arrive à […]
