[THEIA] Near real time production of Sentinel-2 images has resumed

In English Sentinel-2 THEIA

Olivier Hagolle, 2 novembre 2022

Newly produced Sentinel2 L2A products over Toulouse (we don’t distribute the 100% cloudy images)

Due to Brexit,  the ECMWF moved some of its computer infrastructure from Reading (UK) to Bologna (IT), and a 5 week interruption of service occurred for the production of Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service. As our Level 2A production for Sentinel-2 uses this information to set the type or aerosols for the atmospheric correction, we had to suspend our production.

 

The service resumed last week, and Theia has almost caught up all the production, since images until October 26th are available ! Well done to the production team, and sorry for those of you who had to wait until the data became available.

One of this service is the Copernicus’ High Resolution […]
