SPOT4 (Take5) users’s day presentations

Voici les présentations de la Journée SPOT4 (Take5) du 2 octobre, qui a réuni une centaine de personnes au CNES pour faire un bilan des acquisitions et des produits distribués, et prendre connaissance des premiers retours des utilisateurs. J’en profite pour remercier les deux organisatrices, Sylvia Sylvander et Danielle Barrère, du CNES (DCT/ME/OT), les 23 orateurs qui nous ont proposé de brillantes présentations, et le photographe (Gérard Dedieu) qui n’a oublié que 3 orateurs. J’ai rédigé pour le CNES un bref compte rendu en Français. Pour voir les présentations, cliquez sur les liens dans le tableau ci dessous.  Here are the presentations from SPOT4 (Take5) users day on October the 2nd. 100 people attended this meeting at CNES, which aimed at making an assessment of the acquisition and products, and obtain a first feedback from users. I would like to thank a lot the two organizers, Sylvia Sylvander and Danielle Barrère from CNES, the 23 speakers, who delivered brilliant presentations, and the photographer (Gerard Dedieu), who only forgot 3 speakers. The table below gives access to all the slides of the presentations.

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 […]

IOTA2 software mailing list

Hello everyone, We have just created a mailing list for users of the IOTA2 software (iota2 — iota2 documentation). The tool will undergo significant developments in the coming months, and the purpose of this list is to communicate with the community to support these changes and to maintain the processing workflows needed by the users.
