=> Alors que l’Italie ou le Maroc s’alarment depuis des mois, la sécheresse s’est étendue en juin à toute l’Europe du Sud Ouest (qualifier la Bretagne de « Sud Ouest » est un peu osé, je le reconnais). Nous disposons des synthèses de réflectances de surface issues de Sentinel-2 pour le mois de juin depuis quelques jours, […]
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, […]
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 […]
=> UPDATE (Feb 14th 21): the version 4.5.3 is now released and fixes a few minor issues found while testing the first time series of the new L1C format, please upgrade to Maja 4.5.3 ! Following the announcement by ESA of a major product format upgrade for Sentinel-2 by early January 2022, the development team […]
=> Following its installation in March 2021, our new ROSAS device at Lamasquère has produced a first series of acquisitions over a complete maize crop cycle. The ROSAS system is based on the use of a multi-spectral photometer to carry out angular and spectral measurements of both incident and reflected radiation from the surface. The […]
=> Suite à sa mise en place en mars 2021, notre nouveau dispositif ROSAS de Lamasquère a produit une première série d’acquisitions sur un cycle complet de culture de maïs. Le dispositif ROSAS repose sur l’utilisation d’un photomètre multi-spectral pour non seulement réaliser des mesures angulaires et spectrales du rayonnement incident, mais aussi du rayonnement […]
=> When the summers were hot and dry during the past years, our monthly cloudfree syntheses of surface reflectances from Sentinel-2 for the month of July interested the media. It will probably not be the case in 2021, as France thankfully kept its green colour in July. Because of the cloud cover that […]
=> Depuis quelques années, lors de chaque été sec en France, nos synthèses mensuelles de réflectances de surface issues de Sentinel-2 pour le mois de juillet ont été reprises dans les médias. Ce ne sera probablement pas le cas cette année, car la France est restée bien verte en juillet 2021. En raison de […]
The distribution of MAJA L2A processor, as an executable software, started in april 1997, but we started counting the number of downloads only since October 2017. The cumulative number of downloads just reached 2000 on April the 2nd 2021. It is on average 1.56 downloads per day, and more than 2 downloads per work day […]
