[Muscate news] temporary slowlyness

PEPS Sentinel-2 THEIA

Olivier Hagolle, 14 octobre 2017

Update : MUSCATE is back on track for the real time production, thanks to PEPS return to nominal production, and a better stability of our platform.Some of you will have probably noticed that Theia production of Sentinel-2 L2A data is quite slow these days, and is not producing all the data it should in real time. The reason is we started to implement a correction to solve the performance issues we had. This correction was tested and qualified during several days, in operational conditions,  but when put in production, turned out to be unstable, due to occasional slowness in CNES cluster which did not happen when the correction was in tests. Moreover, our source of Sentinel2 data, PEPS, was experiencing some difficulties, providing a much reduced number of images. We are waiting for a correction of the correction (the cause has been found and corrected but needs to be tested), The new version should be installed in less than 2.3 days, as Dilbert (dilbert.com) says. And all the team is very sorry for the delays and the inconvenience it is causing.

Sentinel-2 overtakes Landsat in scientific litterature

The OpenAlex is a new but already very convenient open database to survey scientific litterature. For a coming blog post on CNES Datacampus site, I studied the proportion of papers using only one of the Sentinel-2 or Landsat missions, and papers using both of them, in 2025. And what stroke me is that Sentinel-2 just […]

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once

This blog post is not a review of the excellent and deeply philosophical, parallel-universes delirium movie by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, but the title of this drama resonates with the capabilities of our latest algorithm, which has just been published in Remote Sensing of Environment: J. Michel and J. Inglada, « Temporal attention multi-resolution fusion […]

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 […]
