Copernicus Land – High-resolution Snow and Ice Monitoring: processing campaign status

 


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 !

The Copernicus Land service provides free access to complete time series from 09/2016 onwards for the Alps, Pyrenees and Scandinavia at https://cryo.land.copernicus.eu/finder/. The full HR-S&I dataset will be available in January 2021.

Des produits neige et glace en haute-résolution (20 m x 20 m) sur l’Europe en temps réel, mais pas seulement! Magellium se charge également de la campagne de traitement des archives Sentinel-2 à partir de Septembre 2016.  Parmi environ 1000 tuiles Sentinel-2 à traiter sur l’Europe, près de 700 sont traitées et 500 sont publiées intégralement depuis Septembre 2016. Ce traitement massif est fait sur le HPC du CNES.

Retrouvez déjà les séries temporelles complètes sur les Alpes, les Pyrénées et la Scandinavie en téléchargement gratuit sur https://cryo.land.copernicus.eu/finder/. La totalité des données HR-S&I sur la zone européenne EEA-39 sera disponible mi-janvier 2021.

Three Sentinel-2 satellites instead of two: impact on the retrieval of the snow disappearance date

Due to the success of Olivier’s petition, ESA kept Sentinel-2A operational after the launch of Sentinel-2C. Having three operational satellites instead of two increases the revisit, which should improve the quality of the derived products, and therefore the reliability of operational services based on Sentinel-2 data. One of this service is the Copernicus’ High Resolution […]

Autumn snow drought on Mount Damavand

« We are currently experiencing the driest autumn the country has experienced in 50 years » said Iran’s meteorological organisation. Near Tehran, Mount Damavand, the highest peak in Iran (5609 m) was reported to be « unusually bare of snow ». I checked this statement using my MODIS snow cover data processing algorithm implemented in Google Earth Engine (Gascoin […]
