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.

Sentinel-2 reveals the surface deformation after the 2025 Myanmar earthquake

Sentinel-2 captured several clear-sky images of Myanmar before and after the 28 March 2025 earthquake. The animation below shows a 5-day apart sequence of images captured by Sentinel-2B and Sentinel-2C (10 m resolution) near the epicenter located close to Mandalay. The surface slip due to the earthquake follows the Sagaing Fault, a major fault in […]

Evolution de l’altitude de la ligne de neige au cours des 41 dernières années dans le bassin versant du Vénéon (Oisans)

Pour contribuer à caractériser les conditions hydrométéorologiques lors de la crue torrentielle qui a frappé la Bérarde en juin, j’ai analysé une nouvelle série de cartes d’enneigement qui couvre la période 1984-2024 [1]. Grâce à la profondeur temporelle de cette série, on constate que l’altitude de la ligne de neige dans le bassin versant du […]
