Release of Theia Sentinel-2 L2A data over la Réunion

Because of the little issues we stumbled upon when producing Sentinel-2 level 2A data over France with MUSCATE, we had not yet demonstrated an end-to-end production, with a distribution on the operational server. While waiting for the end of the production of data over metropolitan France, we did this test the processing of Réunion Island. 

The island is covered by only one Sentinel-2 tile, but the processing worked very smoothly, which is a very good sign after all teh difficulties we met. The data are now released on :

 We processed all the available data, strating from January the 18th, 2016, until end of November. To produce the data acquired later on, we are waiting for the new version of PEPS, compatible with the new Sentinel-2 data format. We hope it will be possible as soon as February. .The data set includes a nice image of the eruption of the Piton de la Fournaise volcano, in September. Regarding the data quality, you may find that the cloud shadows are a little exaggerated. We will try to fix that with a better tuning of the threshold for the next versions.

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 […]
