=> The Sentinel-2 Level 1C products will be split into tiles. and I have searched a little how the naming convention of Sentinel-2 tiles works. I have found some interesting resources in Sentinel-2 website : Here is what I have guessed : For instance : Sorry for that, I would like to have a formula […]
=> Had we known, we would have framed the images differently ! On Reunion Island, in the Indian Ocean, the Piton de la Fournaise volcano had a very frantic summer (well, it’s winter there). The volcano erupted 3 three times since May, and we missed a little part of the first eruption. Reunion Island is a little […]
=> These days, Mireille Huc is spending a lot of time to enhance the cloud shadow detection method applied to time series. Our MACCS method tends to forget some shadows when they are partly hidden under the cloud. We will explain in a future article the defects of the present method and how we will […]
=> Now that Sentinel-2A has started to acquire time series over Europe, we have been able to try our MACCS Level 2A processor to perform atmospheric corrections. As you probably know if you have been following this blog, MACCS works with time series to detect clouds, shadows, water and estimate aerosols optical thickness. Our processor therefore […]
Twice a year, there is a Landsat Science Team meeting, organised by USGS. One day is dedicated to LANDSAT news, and one or two days to the science team presentations. And what is good, is that the slides are made available just after the meeting. It is a good way to get news from LANDSAT, and […]
=>Le CNES vent de décider de prolonger l’expérience SPOT5 (Take5) d’une semaine, jusqu’au 15 septembre. Cette prolongation généreuse compensera les deux pertes de données rencontrées au cours de l’expérience. Grâce à cette prolongation, nous aurons bien 5 mois de données pour chaque site, et environ 30 acquisitions par site. A l’issue de l’expérience, Sentinel-2 devrait […]
=> CNES just decided to extend the SPOT5 (Take5) experiment by one week until the 15th of September. This extension is a generous compensation for the loss of two periods of acquisition : Thanks to this extension, we will still get 5 complete months of data for each site, and about 30 acquisitions per site, every […]
The programming of the 2nd and 3rd of August acquisitions failed for a complex reason which is now understood, and should not happen again. Please remember that the programming is done fully manually, as SPOT5 is not on its nominal orbit and that it requires a lot of work from the teams at CNES to […]
While most CNES personnel is on vacation, the THEIA exploitation team is still producing data. A new batch of L1C and L2A SPOT5 (Take5) data has been uploaded to the server. All the data acquired until the 8th of July are now available. Have fun (either with your holidays, or with the Take5 data !) […]
