Les séries temporelles de Sentinel-2 sont bien lisses !

=> Dans un précédent billet, j’ai montré un exemple de série temporelle obtenu sur un pixel de forêt de pins, qui met en valeur la bonne qualité des séries temporelles que l’on obtient avec les données Sentinel-2, traitées au niveau 2A par THEIA en utilisant la chaîne MACCS. (les données de niveau 2A sont corrigées […]

TOMCAR-Sat : Remote Sensing on the Yenisei river!

Since October 2015, the TOMCAR-Sat project aims to use high resolution satellite products to monitor Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) fluxes on the Arctic river Yenisei. Specifically, its objectives consist to calibrate a DOC retrieval model from time-series of satellite images and to characterize dynamics of the factors that may affect DOC concentrations, i.e. the snow […]

Sentinel-2 time series are smooth !

=>  In a previous post, I showed a time series of pixels showing the good data quality of time series we get with Sentinel-2, processed to Level 2A by THEIA using MACCS  processor. However, I concluded that the plot I showed still had some low noise, and that a part of it was due to […]

Snow and Fire in the Dragon mountains

NASA’s blog « Image of the Day » recently featured two beautiful MODIS images of the snow cover in Lesotho. In late July Lesotho experienced its heaviest snowfall in two decades. The snow is not uncommon in Lesotho given that over 80% of the country lies above 1800 m. However the frequency of such snow events has […]

Sentinel-2 MACCS L2A reflectance stability

As MACCS was used to produce a large amount of images (all the images acquired over France), we were able to make some more validation tests, such as checking the surface reflectance stability. To do that, the region of Arles in Provence (France), tile 31TFJ, is a good site, with a lot of clear skies, […]

Some summer news about Sentinel-2 and THEIA’s level 2A production

=>  Theia – MUSCATE I had a week of work in the middle of my holidays, which enabled be to see how the work on Sentinel-2  L2A data distribution is progressing. My colleagues who worked all July (Dominique, Joelle, Céline…) did a great job : they were able to process a large data set of […]

Quelques nouvelles estivales de Sentinel-2 et des productions de N2A par Theia

=> Theia – MUSCATE J’ai pris une petite semaine de travail au milieu de mes vacances, ce qui m’a permis de suivre un peu l’avancement des travaux sur Sentinel-2. Mes collègues aoûtiens (Dominique, Joelle, Céline…) ont bien travaillé en juillet : ils ont pu lancer une production de masse avec MUSCATE. Ils ont traité toutes […]

The iota2 Land cover processor has processed some Sentinel-2 data

=> You already heard about iota2 processor, and you must know that it can process LANDSAT 8 time series et deliver land cover maps for whole countries. These las days, Arthur Vincent completed the code that allows processing Sentinel-2 time series. Even if atmospherically corrected Sentinel-2 data are not yet available above the whole France, we used  the […]

La chaîne d’occupation des sols iota2 sait maintenant traiter Sentinel-2

=>Vous connaissez déjà la chaîne iota2 et vous savez qu’elle sait traiter les séries temporelles Landsat8 et générer des cartes d’occupation des sols. Ces derniers jours, Arthur Vincent a terminé le code permettant d’utiliser les séries temporelles Sentinel-2. Même si nous n’avons pas encore des séries Sentinel-2 sur toute la France (mais elles devraient arriver bientôt), nous […]
