Combined exploitation of VENμS, Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8: the spectral bands

=> The combined use of VENμS, Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 data can increase the likelihood of obtaining cloud-free images or may allow detailed tracking of rapidly evolving phenomena. In order to facilitate this combination, the table below summarizes the correspondences between the spectral bands of the instruments. VENμS does not have a spectral band in the […]

Exploitation combinée de VENµS, Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 : les bandes spectrales

=>L’utilisation combinée des données de VENµS, Sentinel-2 et Landsat-8 peut permettre d’augmenter la probabilité d’obtenir des images sans nuage ou de suivre de manière détaillée des phénomènes à évolution rapide.Afin de faciliter cette combinaison, le tableau ci-dessous présente de manière résumée les correspondances entre les bandes spectrales des instruments. VENµS ne comporte pas de bande […]

MAJA 3.3 is available, with a LOT of improvements

What’s new ? Pfew ! It has been quite long, but MAJA 3.3 is available, and it improves a LOT of things ! Moreover, when we validated the results, we figured out that one of the parameters in our settings had a wrong value (10 instead of 1). It is easy to make such errors, […]

Synthèses de la durée de l’enneigement au 1er avril dans les Pyrénées

Le 1er avril est la date souvent utilisée par les hydrologues pour caractériser le stock de neige disponible avant la saison de fonte. A partir des produits neige Theia, j’ai calculé la durée d’enneigement par pixel de 20 m dans les Pyrénées depuis le début de l’année hydrologique (le 1er septembre 2018) jusqu’au 1er avril […]
