We are pleased to announce that Theia has put online 93 Sentinel-2 snow products, corresponding to 6 tiles in the Alps, Pyrenees, and Atlas mountains between July 2016 to November 2016. 300 more products should be available next week. The operational production should start in autumn 2017 (i.e. near real time), and will cover a […]
=>THEIA passed two new milestones in this beginning of summer : Data are available from https://theia.cnes.fr

In the framework of the Pyrenees Climate Change Observatory (OPCC) the Cesbio is contributing to the analysis of the snow cover using satellite imagery. In 2016 four projects associated with the Observatory (Climpy, Replim, Canopee y Florapyr) have been programmed with European Regional Development Funds for transborder cooperation on adaptation to climate change for the […]
After having written rather bad news from MUSCATE for quite a long time, I am very happy to send good ones, and I have to restrain myself not to provide news every day. :)Here is the number of L2A products we are producing every day. The visible enhanced performance is due to several reasons :
The animation below shows the evolution of Thwaites glacier eastern ice shelf in West Antarctica, from July 2016 to May 2017. I made it with 45 quicklooks of Sentinel-1 radar images processed by the Alaska Satellite Facility and available via the vertex data portal. All images were acquired in interferometric wide swath mode (polarization HH, […]
Theia’s Sentinel-2 L2A counter passed the 15 000 threshold on the 26th of May. The joined image shows the zones which are available so far. Recently, two more sites have been added to THEIA’s list of processed sites :
=> The Sentinel-2B satellite was launched in March 2017, and joined his twin brother Sentinel-2A, which was orbiting since June 2015. Both satellites are now succeeding each other above our heads every 5 days. Sentinel-2 system mission is to monitor the evolution of the landscape and especially vegetation, with an observation every fifth day. Very quickly, ESA managed […]
Here are the sites that will be observed by the long awaited French-Israeli satellite Venµs. Venµs will be launched this summer, and three months after launch, all the sites will be observed each second day from a constant viewing angle with 10m resolution and 12 spectral bands. Combined with Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8, a daily […]
