THEIA’s Sentinel-2 L2A processing on Sahel is progressing

=> As we had announced in November, the MUSCATE production centre in Theia is gradually adding areas in the Sahel, which are shown in the image below. The data are processed from December 2016 onwards, which means that we have a large amount of data to process. We started with the most westerly tiles, in Senegal on the UTM28 zone, then progressed from one zone to another towards the East.

 

Progress of the processing of tiles in Theia’s Sahel zone. The tiles in red are available since January 2017, and processed in real time. The tiles in blue are being processed or will be shortly.

In the recent days, Theia has completed the processing of tiles in the UTM30 zone and in most of UTM31 area. The added region includes Burkina Faso, South of Mali, West of Niger, North of Benin. The processing of the east of UTM31 and the whole UTM 32 tiles has started. Feel free to take a look from time to time at the map of areas covered by MUSCATE. The blue tiles turn red as soon as we switch to near real time processing. The data can be downloaded from here:

Animation in the region of the city of Mopti, Mali, with about one image per month in 2017. The displayed time series extends between two rainy seasons and covers the dry season. Many fire scars are visible during the dry season. Some shadows appear, which actually correspond to the shadows of cirrus clouds corrected by MAJA. Shadows and cirrus are marked in the products.

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 […]
