USGS releases LANDSAT 8 data corrected from atmospheric effects

=> Since Christmas (almost, December 23rd), USGS distributes LANDSAT 8 data corrected from atmospheric effects, as they already did for LANDSAT 5 and 7. These data have been long awaited and will be very useful. Of course, USGS processing addresses the whole world. To access these products, you should use the earthexplorer.server. You will find the data by clicking on LANDSAT_CDR, as shown in the image on the right. You will have to order for their processing before being able to download them. Usually this processing is very quick. We did not yet compare the USGS products developed by NASA (E.Vermote) with our Level 2A LANDAT 8 data acquired over France and produced and distributed by THEIA with CESBIO processor, but we will work into it shortly.

The missing link to valorize CESBIO’s applicative research works

=>  My colleagues at CESBIO are extremely creative! Over the past ten years, they have developed a wide range of new products and methods for extracting information from Copernicus data. They don’t just develop and validate the method on a few sites; they continue their work until they have produced data for the whole of […]

Le chaînon manquant dans la valorisation des travaux de recherche en télédétection

=> Mes collègues du CESBIO sont très créatifs ! Ils ont mis au point, au cours des dix dernières années, un grand nombre de nouveaux produits et de méthodes d’extraction de l’information à partir des données Copernicus (Sentinel-1 et 2). Et bien souvent, ils ne s’arrêtent pas à la mise au point de la méthode […]

Sentinel-2 overtakes Landsat in scientific litterature

OpenAlex is a new, yet already very useful, open database for exploring scientific literature. For an upcoming blog post on the CNES Datacampus website, I analysed the proportion of papers that used only one of the Sentinel-2 or Landsat missions, as well as those that used both, in 2025. What struck me was that Sentinel-2 […]
