For your eyes only, New Caledonia monthly cloud free synthesys.

=>

I will probably never go to New Caledonia, as the plane trip would spoil my carbon budget for the next 10 years. But I just had the chance to admire it from 700 km above sea level, thanks to the monthly Level 3A cloud free syntheses produced by Theia with Sentinel-2 data. As I am not selfish, here is a link to visualize the mosaic of these images obtained for the month of August 2019. For once, I made the mosaic at 10 meters resolution, and it’s worth it.

If you look closely, you will find some artefacts on this cloudy region, but most of them are above water, and sadly over the magnificent lagoon. Our method has been designed to work on lands, but is somewhat degraded above water becuase water colours change very fast with time. to know more about our methodology please see this post.

Dates de fauche en France

En 2024, des collègues du Cesbio ont publié un article* sur la cartographie de la date de fauche en France en 2022 à partir des données satellitaires Sentinel-2.   Leur magnifique figure 10 a attiré mon attention. La version à haute résolution fournie avec l’article (2861 × 2911 pixels) correspond à une image dont les pixels font […]

Évolution du jour de déneigement dans les Alpes françaises et les Pyrénées

Les socio-écosystèmes des Alpes et des Pyrénées dépendent étroitement des fluctuations annuelles du manteau neigeux. En particulier, le moment de l’année où la neige disparait détermine le début de la saison de croissance de la végétation de montagne et donc la période des estives. Le changement climatique est en train de bouleverser ce rythme saisonnier. […]

BIOMASS, the third launched satellite mission designed at CESBIO !

After SMOS in 2009, and VENµS in 2017, the CESBIO laboratory is very proud to see its third proposed mission, Biomass, reach orbit. As always, it has been a long journey from the idea, at the beginning of the century, to the selection in 2013 as the seventh Earth Explorer Mission by ESA, to the […]
