Snow and ice products are now available at high resolution (20×20 m) for all Europe in near-real time. However, Magellium is also processing the Sentinel-2 archive since September 2016. About 70% of Sentinel-2 observations have already been processed and 50 % are already published. This huge computation is being done on the CNES HPC […]
« Give me a hundred tries, I’ll never be able to spell it. » Jimmy McGill I haven’t seen the « Breaking Bad » series but I’m a huge fan of « Better Call Saul ». Both series take place in Albuquerque, New Mexico. With its dry, sunny weather, Albuquerque is the perfect place for a modern-day Western. Vince Gilligan, the […]
A sunny Sunday just after an exceptional late-September snowfall… That’s already a stroke of luck. But the passage of Sentinel-2 on the same day makes this weekend even more special! The snow cover map was immediately processed and distributed by the new Copernicus Snow & Ice monitoring service powered by Cesbio’s algorithms! You can explore […]
En partant de Boutx (780 m) on peut monter au Pic Saillant (1756 m) (voir le topo) et admirer un magnifique panorama hydrologique sur le haut bassin de la Garonne et de son affluent la Pique. Par temps clair, on peut deviner les sommets du Luchonnais encore enneigés au mois de juillet qui marquent la […]
In July 2018, the Pamir Times has reported that a lake formed due to a debris flow in the Ishkoman Valley, Pakistan. This event caused the destruction of dozens of housed in Badswat and Bilhanz villages. The flood debris running down the slope hit the mountain on the opposite side, and formed a barrier, blocking […]
We are thinking of a new « live » product which would allow anyone to display the most recent snow observations from Sentinel-2 in a web browser. This service would simply display a composite of the latest Theia Snow products over a given time window (e.g. the past 20 days). This can be easily coded thanks to […]
France Bleu nous signale une impressionnante avalanche en Savoie près du Col du Glandon qui bloque la route Départementale 927. Les cartes d’enneigement distribuées par Theia permettent d’évaluer la présence de neige sur les routes de montagne grâce à leur haute résolution (pixel de 20 m). Une carte qui date du 09 mai (soit deux […]
Voici un outil qui permet de trouver de la neige à moins de 100 km de chez vous ou dans votre département ! Cette app utilise les cartes de neige journalières produites par la Nasa à partir du capteur Modis sur le satellite Terra (MOD10A1.006). L’observation non-nuageuse la plus récente dans les dix dernières cartes […]
Suomi/VIIRS had a nice view of snow in the Alps today, 60 years after the first TIROS image. Thanks to all space agencies for providing us great data to study snow. And thanks to Richard Essery for the tip!
