Theia releases Sentinel-2A L2A data over Morocco

=> After France, Belgium, North of Spain, Tunisia, a transect from Burkina Faso to Mali and some tiles in Ethiopia, Theia just released the production of one year of Sentinel-2A data at Level 2A above a large region of Morocco, from Ouarzazate to Casablanca. Level 2A products provide surface reflectances corrected from atmospheric effects, with a high quality cloud mask. The L2A data are, as always, available from https://theia.cnes.fr. Please refer to the help page to find the data format description. To download the data without a click, you may use our python download tool (after having registered on Theia’s site).

Once again, this production was not an easy one, as our new CNES cluster suffered again from slowness. But the good news is that the technical teams found a better tuning to ensure a more steady production, and seem to have found a way to solve the issue, that will be installed next Tuesday.

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

I checked this statement using my MODIS snow cover data processing algorithm implemented in Google Earth Engine (Gascoin […]
