Did you know that the St. Moritz Casino is the highest in Switzerland? If you like gambling, I have a little game for you: what are the odds to find snow near St. Moritz? Fortunately, I just finished the processing of 218 Sentinel-2 dates from 2015-Dec-04 to 2018-Apr-10 of tile 32TNS with our let-it-snow processor. […]
=> MUSCATE sentinel-2 L2A counter just reached 80000 products, but a lot more products were processed these past weeks. Indeed, the MUSCATE team started processing the early Sentinel-2B images acquired from July to October 2017, which were missing on our catalog. Indeed. We only started Level 2A treatments in October 2017, in real time (a […]
=> Le compteur de produits de Niveau 2A de Sentinel-2 de MUSCATE vient de franchir les 80000 produits, mais en fait, MUSCATE en a produit beaucoup plus. En effet, l’équipe d’exploitation (Joel, Raquel, Sylvie) a commencé à traiter les données de Sentinel-2B acquises de juillet à octobre 2017, qui manquaient dans notre catalogue. Nous n’avions […]
Update from May 4th 2018 : ESA has started planning for a global reprocessing in 2019 The information gathered by Sentinel-2 system on Sentinel-2 orbit, attitude, date accuracy, and viewing directions of all detectors allows an excellent accuracy for the geolocation of all Sentinel-2 pixels. The overall geo-location accuracy is better than 11 or 12 […]
=> Thanks to our collaboration with DLR,, who developed the method [1], and with an ESA funding, we added within MAJA a correction for thin cirrus clouds that works for LANDSAT 8 and Sentinel-2. This correction uses the cirrus band at 1.38 µm, which allows to estimate cirrus reflectance, which is then subtracted from the […]
=>Grâce à notre collaboration avec le DLR, qui a mis au point la méthode [1], nous avons mis en place dans MAJA une correction des cirrus fins pour LANDSAT 8 et Sentinel-2. Cette correction utilise la bande cirrus située à 1.38 µm, qui permet d’estimer la réflectance des cirrus qui est ensuite soustraite des autres […]
The ESA website featured this Sentinel-2 image of a large and thick plume of dust off Libya (click here to view in the Sentinel-Hub)
Yesterday, the MUSCATE ground segment started delivering Sentinel-2A L2A products using the MAJA V2 processor, while MAJA V1 was used until now. MAJA V2 corrects for a few bugs (such as the pixels flagged as cloud or cloud shadow on the edge of the images) and adds three new features : Elsa Bourgeois, from Cap […]
The French Sentinel mirror site, PEPS, has a very clever data management facility. All the products are stored on tapes, with a capacity of several PB, and there is some sort of cache made of disks. The products accessed recently are on disks, while the other products stay on tapes. The storage costs and also […]
