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.

Sentinel-2 reveals the surface deformation after the 2025 Myanmar earthquake

Sentinel-2 captured several clear-sky images of Myanmar before and after the 28 March 2025 earthquake. The animation below shows a 5-day apart sequence of images captured by Sentinel-2B and Sentinel-2C (10 m resolution) near the epicenter located close to Mandalay. The surface slip due to the earthquake follows the Sagaing Fault, a major fault in […]

Evolution de l’altitude de la ligne de neige au cours des 41 dernières années dans le bassin versant du Vénéon (Oisans)

Pour contribuer à caractériser les conditions hydrométéorologiques lors de la crue torrentielle qui a frappé la Bérarde en juin, j’ai analysé une nouvelle série de cartes d’enneigement qui couvre la période 1984-2024 [1]. Grâce à la profondeur temporelle de cette série, on constate que l’altitude de la ligne de neige dans le bassin versant du […]
